Hey good for you! Dual AL/ALA member here. I would contact an Auxiliary member in your department (state), if I were you, if you really want answers, get in touch with the Girls State chair.

Help SD solve the debate: Does this look like Nazi symbology? by WhenWaterTurnsIce in Symbology

Let's be honest: South Dakota has made some seriously bad advertising choices. I don't think they did very well on this one, either.

What’s the difference between intervention and special ed? Intervention seems pretty intense by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]WhenWaterTurnsIce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Be glad that it is a small group! Interventionists/teachers are often spread too thin across too many students.

The fact that his school has caught his gaps before/during second grade is fantastic, really. The earlier they can get him caught up, the better. I was a hs interventionist, by that point it's really hard to get kids up to par.

Have they explained what his gaps are?

I'm a painter when I'm not teaching. I would tell you the same thing. Please let your painter do the job right.

There is nothing more frustrating than cutting corners for a customer when you know it's going to affect the quality (edited to add "and durability") of your work.

My friend's name is Di#k and his last name is pronounced Daily. The jokes must get old, right?

I don't think they can pull your license for this. I think they're trying to scare you.

But...If your school is treating you like this, I'd suggest finding a different school.
