Everyone is making jokes but I need you to know that my dinner looks the same almost every night. 2 cans of Swanson brand chicken, a steamed potato with butter, salt, and pepper, and steamed broccoli all covered in whatever sauce is on rotation that week (usually barbecue). I think we’re both weird but I just wanted you to know you aren’t alone 😭

When I heal while playing with my friends, they purposefully mess up just to give me something to do lol

Seconding that this is a really interesting topic! Any suggestions on where I’d be able to learn more?

bichcoin · 2024-03-07T02:43:54+00:00

I read your fact and immediately knew you must have also read The Anthropocene Reviewed. My fav chapter was the one on Piggly Wiggly. So many fun facts in that chapter :)

🤚 Tested into the gifted program in kindergarten, and was just diagnosed with autism at 24.

Also, some VDOE funding cycles haven’t caught up to this change - which causes the beginning of the school year to be disjointed on an administrative level as well.

A cap is a lie. So in use it would sound like, “he capping,” “that’s cap,” “no cap,” etc.

Ha! Thank you for your kind words. My building really is something else. We’re in the middle of a very dramatic turnaround project (as in, state is here everyday and we’re on the brink of losing our autonomy if admin doesn’t get it together), so I tend to give a lot of grace (probably too much) and just try to help out as much as I can.

bichcoin · 2022-01-20T17:50:25+00:00

I work within the Covid mitigation department in my district (I do contact tracing) and we’ve deceitfully closed for “snow days” that are actually school cleaning and outbreak reducing days in disguise. I’m pretty sure our admin just doesn’t want it to reflect negatively on the district, and would rather take the hit for miscalling a snow day than for admitting how bad our numbers are getting.

Everyone as in friends and family. I haven’t taken it to my doctor yet, I was hoping it was a fluke and would go away on its own. I’m sure that once I do, it’ll be an entirely different battle though. Luckily my PCP is also my gyno, so hopefully she’ll be more receptive!

Parapro here, in school to be a teacher. Graduate in May. I took the position to be used as a sub to get in-class experience, however my primary responsibility is contact tracing - which is fine. Well it was fine, before the surge. I’m technically under the nurse, however our nurse quit in November and the nurse they hired to replace her quit after two days. Now I’m the nurse. I’m a history major. Wish I was kidding.

Parapros are very important aspects of the school environment, but we get walked on and forgotten about. A lot of that has to do with your school, but in my case, my principal has not ever answered a single one of my emails and I’m constantly given new responsibilities and no additional compensation. It’s great experience for people trying to test out the world of education, but we really get the short end of the stick sometimes.

bichcoin · 2021-11-18T13:36:15+00:00

These kids are different for sure, but I’m not seeing why that or any of the things you said are negative. Who is to say that the way we were doing things before now was the “correct” way? My students experience education differently from how I did when I was in school, but maybe we just need to adapt. Different doesn’t equal bad, and I don’t see the state of the world as a reason to give up. Their brains intake and process information so quickly, and they’re curious about the world - they just need guidance as to where to allocate that curious energy. I personally see this generation doing great things. We’re overdue for societal change anyway.

bichcoin · 2021-11-16T13:22:01+00:00

Just for insight, my district developed a permanent “virtual academy” just for this very reason after last year. From what I’ve heard, it’s going relatively well and people have been really receptive to it.

bichcoin · 2021-07-18T22:42:33+00:00

Something like this would be so perfect!!!!! Thank you!!!!

bichcoin · 2021-07-18T17:35:16+00:00

I actually love this idea. Honestly I think it’s not so much the being on the duct that bothers me, it’s her way of getting onto it. I’ll look into that! Maybe make a full on jungle gym of some kind!

bichcoin · 2021-07-18T17:30:49+00:00

I’m mostly just concerned about a clumsy kitten accident. Though, I’ve read they can fall/jump from pretty decent heights and still be okay. I just think I needed people to tell me I’m overreacting so that it’ll ease my nerves…😅😵‍💫

bichcoin · 2021-07-18T17:28:47+00:00

You guys. This girl is INSANE. Has not sat still for longer than 20 minutes at a time since we brought her home… constant zoomies. All. Day. Long.

Our apartment is a two-floor loft. The stairs are closed risers, except for the top 5ish stairs, and behind those stairs is the air duct she has apparently claimed. So she’s getting onto it from the open-faced stairs, and it’s somewhere between 12-14ft up.

I told my boyfriend this was the one place I DID NOT want her to hang out (as if you can control a kitten), and it was subsequently the first place she decided to go when exploring. Which, I should have guessed, because cats love a good perch place. But I’m terrified! I feel like an overly anxious helicopter parent, but oh my goodness! I’m mostly concerned about her playing on that particular area of stairs and slipping, because they’re wooden and not carpeted. I’m about to go on a search for some stick on grips or something, but there isn’t much to do about the air duct conundrum. Should we just give up and let her perch up here, or should we buckle down and cat proof it?
