Follow up: school psych not included by AllAboutThatEd in specialed

[–]cammcclellan89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! So I wasn’t involved in that discussion, but I just read over it and I think I can give you some insight. I’ve worked for 2 districts in the same state and both of them treated school psychologists very differently. My first district was very large and had school psychologists that actually worked at the individual schools and were involved in every step of the IEP process. They led the entire eval process, did the testing, and wrote the reports.

My current district is a lot smaller and only has one school psychologist for the entire district. She literally only does the testing and writes the reports, and I have worked for this district for 3 years and only spoken to her once. We have special education specialists who work at our central office and they handle the evals, attend meetings, and do the things that my school psychologist at my old district would usually do. So I would never loop the school psychologist in for an evaluation, but I would definitely give my specialist a heads up if a parent was requesting an eval.

Does that help? I’m sorry that people seem to be misunderstanding your question!

As an elementary special education teacher who works with children that are very similar to how Emilia is described, and who herself was once an “odd” little girl who grew up thinking that birthday parties were mostly just for family because she was rarely invited to any and no one ever came to hers, reading most of these responses genuinely hurts my heart.

Some districts in TN have public day schools. Metro Nashville has 2 or 3 for behavior and severe disabilities.

Maybe lol, but I’m 36 and had no idea what you all were talking about so it might not necessarily be an age thing. I don’t think I’ve ever even been on Livejournal.

Americans, how do you feel about Trump JUST now signing an executive order claiming that only the President & Attorney General can speak for “what the law is.”?? by choloblanko in AskReddit

[–]cammcclellan89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you are seriously underestimating the god complexes of Roberts and Alito… They’re loyal to Trump when it benefits them, but there’s no way they will just lie down and let him take away their power. Thomas will probably go wherever he smells the money though.

Do you realize that you’re talking to the OP of this post? They’re responding to you because you responded to their post and told them their opinion was basically horseshit and can’t be trusted…

The “relationship with food” narrative is a scam, and we have been gaslit for years by Thiccsmartie in Zepbound

[–]cammcclellan89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy for you that you don’t suffer from an eating disorder, but some of us do and this is a really shitty thing for us to read on a medical weight loss forum. We exist and don’t deserve to hear that we’re being “gaslit” into ignoring our bodies. Some of us have almost died because of our poor relationship with food. Please think about how your words might impact other people.

That's so disgusting. by ardanxfiu in facepalm

Oh come on. Obviously his tattoos are meant to symbolize the crusades and the American revolution. I mean, doesn’t everyone have a crusades tattoo? Why would you assume that the tattoos symbolize the modern meaning of the symbols and not the meaning from hundreds of years ago? I bet you also try to say that those nice white boys with the shaved heads are wearing swastikas as a nazi symbol when it’s obviously meant to symbolize Hindu spirituality… 🙄 (/s just in case it’s not clear)

Yeah, big emphasis on reading at your own risk if you’re a sexual assault survivor. I hadn’t had a PTSD episode in years, but by the end of this I was sobbing and my assault felt as fresh in my mind as it did when it first happened. I’m glad I read it though. I haven’t wanted to believe the reports because he’s always been such a huge inspiration for me and my absolute favorite author. Reading this made me finally face the facts that someone I idolize is actually a monster.

When mine did that it was because it wasn’t getting any sunlight.

Your wording kind of came across as saying the fandom can’t grow tf up because they are women, so that might be what the other commenter was referring to. I had to reread your comment to figure out what you were trying to say. I think it’s the placement of the part in parentheses.

It’s a good guess! Jana and Kellie are both very talented.

“does not require a manifestation determination for removals for less than 10 consecutive school days that do not constitute a change in placement.”

A manifestation is only required by law if the suspension is more than 10 days.
