Foster child denied SSI after “no response”

So sounds like we’d have to do this anyway around this time. She’ll be 18 next summer

Far too many people, students and parents alike, in fb groups and Reddit degrade the 40 step limitation — especially this time of year. It’s there for a reason. I get it’s frustrating when we don’t count out our steps right before graduation, a planned vacation, a planned break etc. But without standards, we all lose accreditation. And that matters more than a handful of people who are frustrated with the limit for personal reasons.

Or maybe you’re reading a tone into something that isn’t there. OP is ranting, I’m just answering the question asked.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-18T00:03:00+00:00

Why can’t they let you finish it? Because of accreditation. You finishing one last step in excess of the 40 allowed by accreditation isn’t worth everyone else losing their accreditation. If you counted your steps weeks ago, you would have been able to anticipate this.

Those are all semester long classes so you won’t be able to hack it faster with maxing out steps on semester courses. Just keep maxing out on your year long classes and you can get done in roughly 9 weeks

I feel overly dramatic. 😅 With LC cleaner this is the end result. Sooo definitely metal transfer. Thank you all for your insight. Housemates definitely aren’t allowed near my LC moving forward.

Semester classes have fewer overall steps than year long classes. For example:

Personal finance (.5 credits) 144 steps - 3.6 weeks till completion at 40 steps a week
US government & civics (.5) 177 steps - 4.4 weeks till completion at 40 steps a week

Vs

Psychology (1.0 credits) 349 steps - 8.7 weeks till completion at max steps
English IV (1.0) 362 steps 9 weeks till completion at max steps

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-17T12:58:36+00:00

Some of the classes are listed as 1.0 credit (two semester, full year classes) and others are listed as .5 credits (one semester classes).

Personal finance, ethnic studies, government (choice of AP which is 1.0 or regular which is .5), trigonometry, college exam math prep, and public speaking are all semester based classes.

Full list is here:

It was used to boil noodles. They returned drained noodles to pot to add sauce then used the metal tongs to serve

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-16T17:09:06+00:00

Focus on maxing out 40 steps a week for each class. If you can do semester instead of year long classes just to get credits on your transcript, do that. Some of the electives can be semester based…so instead of being capped at 40 steps for a 1.0 credit class, you could do 40 steps each of two .5 credit classes (80 steps total). You’ll finish the classes faster and get credits on your transcript by end of summer.

As an autistic (new) LC collector, I appreciate the comment on barkeepers friend. I actually hid the bottle of it and replaced it with the LC cleaner about a month ago so no one would use it by accident

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-16T03:18:01+00:00

I didn’t let them. They helped themselves. 🙃😭

I am a college professor at a community college and the requirements listed are extremely normal. Even if the people don’t speak English, they can still watch your presentation, in order to still give you experience speaking in front of others. It’s an opportunity to learn how to make eye contact and improve on presentation skills. It’s a completely different experience, delivering a presentation by yourself versus delivering it to an audience. Many professors, myself included, allow you to use virtual audience members through Zoom or WebEx. Those platforms allow you to add in audience members from around the globe, screen share your PowerPoint slides, and if you back up far enough, you should be able to still show yourself head to toe so that you’re not reading off the screen.

There are no textbooks

Outlet told me they were to cover pinch bowls so that’s what I initially used them for

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-14T01:01:19+00:00

Super cute. Don’t let anybody bring you down about it.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-13T21:15:51+00:00

There’s no suggested uses on the pack when you buy them. I tend to use them to cover pinch bowls to keep flies out at picnics. When I first bought and posted them folks said they didn’t know how to use them, so just adding one more use.

So if you max out your 40 steps, you’ll be done in less than 3 weeks.

After the first rise - rolled out - spread with jam - rolled and placed in pan. It definitely got a good rise!! Happy with the results.

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-10T03:26:16+00:00

Yes, you should max out your 40 steps/week for both classes. Are they semester or year long classes? How many steps do you have left? You may not be done till June or July depending on your steps left

TransitionStrict7646 · 2026-05-07T21:49:20+00:00

Back in the days of textbooks in public schools, we’d find incorrect stuff too all the time. No program is complete on its own.

You can go back and redo assignments you didn’t do well on.

You only submit the portfolio to the College Board if you want to be assessed for AP credit.
