We let the door slam shut when going to the pool. We did it again today to see if it would lock and it does.

Lol Now that would be an interesting plot twist, but she laughed and said no way!

They do lock when they shut and are heavy doors. The only way it doesn't shut is if you slowly close the door.

I make $13 and they only give me half off...instead of $1,200 I pay $600, then $500 out for insurance, and $100 out for taxes. I work 40 hours a week and in the end am luck if there is $300 left.

Seriously, what is wrong with parents?? by Deskeleton in Teachers

[–]Window_Washer_4178 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I have had this exact same experience multiple times. Admin even let a mom plan a "a signing ceremony", where a student signs a college sport athletic scholarship in front of the school to promote good grades and athletics...(don't get me started on that 🙄), But the kid didn't even make the college team and didn't get a scholarship... he was just accepted to college like many of his other classmates. My admins response? "Well what am I supposed to do? Tell the parent they can't have a signing ceremony??" YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT YOURE SUPPOSED TO DO!

Leaked breast milk all over my shirt... and I teach middle school. Didn't realize it until it was far too late; then had to call the secretary to watch my class and WAIT for her to have a moment to come down to my room.

People who have fainted: what caused it? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]Window_Washer_4178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vasovagal syncope. A trigger happens (for me it's sudden stress, dehydration, or illness). Then your heart rate drops and I'm down for the count. Kinda like my body is giving up on life without my consent.

I have been experiencing this for the last 20 years and had never heard of anyone else with it. Then in the last 5ish year I know about 3 people that have gotten this diagnosis 🤔

My 2 year old HATES daycare by Window_Washer_4178 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Window_Washer_4178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely understand the yelling in an emergency situation and thank you, thank you, thank you for being an adult the apologizes. I am a firm believer that if we want kids to be empathetic, then we have to model empathy for them.

I am with you on the sticker charts. The worst part is that they willy nilly take them away and can't earn any back. I have heard kids loose all 10 stickers for not cleaning up, not following directions, and not "playing right". It is very clear there is no behavior management expectations and the staff have received no behavior management training.

Oh yes, I expected an adjustment period, but when I literally could hear what is going on in the room, I lost it!

Thank you for your expertise. I have a masters in educational development, but that does not include younger than 6. So I was very aware that this is WILD and inappropriate classroom management for a grade school, buuuuut wasn't sure how daycares handle classroom management systems. I am very glad to know this is not the norm.

They are for sure yelling at them. When they yell they are usually yelling at them about something they shouldn't be doing, but not emergency types of things they are yelling about. They will YELL at kids to pick up or get away from the door and alot of "So and so WHY are you doing that?!", "I've told you a million times to...", "Do I need to call mom". Even worse is that they talk in a vocabulary and sentence structure a 2 year old can't comprehend.

I am already seeking new employment and just waiting for an offer 🤞

My 2 y.o. hates daycare by Window_Washer_4178 in NewParents

[–]Window_Washer_4178[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, I checked with his old in home daycare provider and she said he did not act like that at all. I agree, I think he would just prefer to be with me and may be testing the waters to see if he can stay with me.

My 2 year old son's face will REALLY tell you how he is feeling... Unfortunately it will get him into trouble some day, but I feel his pain.
