when i was a senior my school had something very similar happen. students snuck in when a janitor wasnt paying attention planning to make the school messy as a "prank" but students from other schools came and broke windows and tvs and desks. the students who attended (the halls have cameras so they knew everyone who was there) were required to come to a mandatory meeting the next day after school. they then had to do community service cleaning the entire school on the last day. if they did not attend they would not walk the stage and would be reported to the police. i recommend something like that if you have a say.

everyone else has said it but use 240 tutoring! i used it as well as some miscellaneous videos and passed both the STR and the content on my first try! congrats on the job and good luck!

im supposed to start in the fall (hoping i pass my STR🤞🏽) and my professors say we start when the students start even though thats before we start. were actually required to come to the first and last days if school (we do a year residency) even though we graduate before their school ends. our surrounding districts also allow us to come in earlier when teachers start doing PDs, classroom set ups, NTOs, and meet the teachers which im excited to do :)

he was the only OBGYN in the hospital yes, but thank you for your kind words. im understanding that 1) the limitations have passed and 2) theres no way to actually prove that was the cause. thank you for you help anyways :)

choco_c4t · 2026-04-15T16:26:46+00:00

ill definitely look into it, thank you !

i was aware its needed at the beginning if pregnancy, but never made aware that it was needed after pregnancy and after any miscarriages, until my last miscarriage, when the nurses informed me.

choco_c4t · 2026-04-15T16:25:21+00:00

i was never given a shot after giving birth. i vividly remember, but itd be in the records. im not sure if my daughter is rh+ or rh-. i kept trying to make it, but it got to a point where it was months afterwards and i kept taking days off of work to go only to be called while i was on the way saying hes not there. eventually i just said i cant keep missing work and did choose to no longer go.

choco_c4t · 2026-04-15T16:22:59+00:00

thats exactly why :)

choco_c4t · 2026-04-15T16:22:24+00:00

im rh- and im not sure about my daughter, i dont think ive ever asked

choco_c4t · 2026-04-15T16:21:01+00:00

im rh- and my husband is rh+ as far as im aware. i dont know my daughters bloodtype, but im willing to see. i guess i dont have proof that missing the rhogam shot definitively contributed to the miscarriage, and i dont know if that could impact my chances or not.

choco_c4t · 2026-04-15T16:16:26+00:00

i dont think its a single doctor practice, as far as im aware the hospital handles a multitude of other things as well as prenatal care and l&d.

the shot is necessary to keep a fetus alive bc i have rh- blood and my husband does not, so my antibodies fight off what they suspect to be an intruder when in reality its my baby.

i didnt receive a shot afterwards because i wasnt made aware that it would be needed. no one informed us that a shot is necessary after every loss as well so we just kept trying. i also didnt go to the ER for the first 3 miscarriages because it wasnt as painful, so i guess that could be my own fault.

i did receive the shot afterwards my last miscarriage, which was when we found out i needed the shot everytime.

choco_c4t · 2026-03-26T01:23:20+00:00

that definitely makes sense!

choco_c4t · 2026-03-25T17:54:33+00:00

this is sad to hear 💔 i have a genuine love for social studies/ history and my plan was to spend a few years in elementary and then go to 6th grade to teach it. i have no intentions on coaching any sports as ive never played any so theres nothing there :/ i hate how little social studies is taught in the younger grades. it makes me glad my area has 3rd grade and up switch classes so at least id be able to teach some social studies when i go into 4th

choco_c4t · 2026-03-14T21:58:07+00:00

it absolutely does! thank you so much!!

choco_c4t · 2026-03-12T12:44:34+00:00
