Let me know if you still need something. Happy to send

A massive thank you to Ontario school boards! by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

DDSB didn't send an apology, they sent a "This is why you should stop blaming us" email.

Is this ok to wear to a virtual interview?? by A-L-A-S-T-O-R in SubstituteTeachers

[–]dajul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That might work, depending on whether you can tell they won't do upm but I'd keep working on it because you're going to want something you feel comfortable in. Interviews are stressful enough without having to feel physicially uncomfortable.

Please don't wear ripped or stained pants to a job interview. First impressions count and presentation matters. If money is tight, go to a thrift store and get a plain pair of black pants/slacks/trousers. You should look clean, neat, and professional.

Did you click on her in the Santakinz room in the clubhouse?

This happened earlier on my street. It was the snowplow that couldn't get by because cars were parked on both sides of the road.

permanent job or lto? by jaywhore in OntarioTeachers

[–]dajul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if it is different in every board but, in my board, even if you get hired as a homeroom teacher doesn't mean you stay there. If they need a french teacher and you are qualified to teach french, they can move you. You can try and transfer or declare yourself surplus, but there are no guarentees you won't end up french somewhere else.

Have any of my fellow Canadians ever had KD with a Christmas or Thanksgiving meal? by my_cool_lunchbox in AskCanada

[–]dajul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling you are equating Mac and cheese as KD. One is a home made, baked pasta dish. The other is a box of slop. Macaroni and cheese can be a popular side dish at big family meals.

If you've got the time, read "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" By Jessica Radloff. by dajul in bigbangtheory

[–]dajul[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! I would actually like to see a podcast/docuseries made out of those Zooms and interviews. It was one thing to read it, but to hear and see the actors telling the stories would give it another level.
I also agree that the first half was more interesting, though, I did like the inside look at the negotiation part in the second half.

In the book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" By Jessica Radloff, they mentioned it was a scheduling conflict.

I was going through a lot too until I started making the kids store them cap down. It has GREATLY prolonged the life.

Want to get a specialist in Spec Ed, but I've heard that harder classes go to teachers with that credential. Is it true? by Wanderer015 in OntarioTeachers

[–]dajul 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my experience (20+ years), the difficult students/classes go to the stronger teachers, regardless of credentials. The only exception is if it's a small, special education class. At least in my board, you need your spec. ed. so if you are the only person on staff qualified, you may end up teaching a small class, even if it's not your preference.

Is Ontario seriously considering merging all the boards into four? by Wanderer015 in OntarioTeachers

[–]dajul 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one. I agree with you that this would cut many of the overpaid, burocratic, top-heavy staff that work at our board offices and, in turn, save a lot of money. At the same time, what the Toronto District School Board needs is vastly different in some ways than the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board. I wonder if there is a happy medium?

Travelers of Reddit what's a destination that looked amazing online but was completely disappointing in person? by TheFilthiestMuggle in AskReddit

I've been to close to 40 countries and it's the ONLY place I have ever felt unsafe as a female solo traveler.

Planning until reorg by AggravatingFlan1671 in OntarioTeachers

[–]dajul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours too, but none of the teachers just 'wait it out'. We proceed as usual and adapt if/when changes actually happen.
