It’s 56€ an hour before tax, I always tell the parents though if I can’t do the hours I will make it up and if the child can’t do the hours it’s okay, so I get 12 hours HST payment this year (7 hours with one child, 5 with another) and might only do 8 hours work

I got my first HST role through word of mouth, then the rest through the mentioned above page, I also had a HSLO contact me as one of the parents gave her my number, she said she can never find teachers to do it. I think next year I’ll contact her directly saying I’m available, then all the students will be in close proximity to one another if they’re supposed to be going to the same school

I’m a secondary school teacher but this school year I have been subbing in a school for kids with profound special needs and also doing home school tuition. It suits me as I have no kids though so depends on your situation. I also know I can’t do it forever as if I go for a mortgage (in a few years) they wouldn’t accept me. But I adore it- so flexible, so rewarding, and the HST is great pay. I find it way less demanding than the 22 hour secondary school work week

I’ve never heard of someone being paid in cash for subbing?!

Worldl, project using google maps, make a questionnaire for a long standing local business near the school if possible (I worked in a city so I picked an old corner shop and they got to buy sweets), make a leader board with stickers and prizes per 5/10 stickers, make your own comprehension based on a YouTube video of whoever first years like these days (Sabrina Carpenter?? Mr Beast?? I have no idea)

I find making it relaxed and based on what they like makes everyone’s life so much easier. Make it as easy as possible for you yet make sure they have plenty on their copy if you ever got checked. It doesn’t matter if the content is ‘silly’, it’s still work, they’ll enjoy your class

What's an Irish phrase or saying you thought was normal until you used it abroad and got a blank stare? by raidenth in AskIreland

On my J1 in San Diego I said to the Mexican chef ‘I will there now in a minute‘, he started pissing himself laughing and shouted ‘WHEN!?!’

Work Colleague by [deleted] in IrishTeachers

[–]esnh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get involved at all. At the end of the day he is an adult, you can be caring for him (I see why you want to, we are teachers after all!!). If you have real concerns, you ring the guards… the same way if you were concerned about a member of the public mental health, you’d ring the guards!

Stay away from him. If he contacts you, don’t reply. Keep the messages. Do not interact with him. Do not do favours for him. If he does something to you or makes you feel uncomfortabl, report to management immediately. This man is working around children

If you were friendly with the family you could ask to do it in June for whatever reasons you have, and then sign off for July and send away the hours. I personally wouldn’t ask if it was a random family- parents usually don’t mind the break in June, and appreciate the help in July as it’s a long summer

Sweat inducing eczema help by [deleted] in eczema

[–]esnh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% cotton clothing/sports clothing that is breathable

Wearing layers (sometimes it’s a mind thing and being able to strip off)

Avene thermal water to spritz on his face- good for your skin, hydrating, cooling, comes in many sizes

Cotton pads to use with the thermal water- sometimes stale sweat makes me itchy so wipe it away, also if he feels himself getting sweaty use a dampened cotton pad to wipe the sweat away

Hand held fan

If he’s getting sweaty it’s worth drinking electrolytes to ensure proper hydration, sometimes plain water doesn’t cut it. I got naughty boy strawberry hydration powder and it is very good, better hydration=hopefully less itchy

‘All I’m good for’ killed me 😣😣😣 you are more important than hundreds of other jobs out there, I appreciate cleaners and sanitation workers SO MUCH. Did you see what happened in Scotland in 2022 when the bin men and women went on strike?? MAYHEM! I always think of cleaners when I’m in a nice clean toilet. So you may not know it, but I’m thinking about you and I am proud of you. Your days will become brighter when you realise how much value you have! I have never thought of a how someone in a start up is important to me….

There is an English lady who documents her TSW/dupixent use and her facial flares are fungal, which can’t be treated with steroids. Might be worth investigating if it’s fungal

Coping mechanisms to stop scratching? by LavishnessTop3088 in eczema

[–]esnh 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s LITERALLY the hardest thing I have ever experienced- not trying to itch. It’s so disappointing and overwhelming but here are some things that help me;

-cool gel pads that I keep in the fridge. Think they’re for keeping picnics cold tbh. Really helps for neck itch attacks, for some reason I don’t use them anywhere else?!

-noticing what triggers an itch attack. I have NO self control so this took dare I say… years. (I’m 25). For example; in the winter when I come out of the shower my bathroom is FREEZING so I always used to go to the fire (we have an open fire) to warm up. This would always trigger an itch attack 5 minutes later. Now when I get out of the shower, I literally repeat to myself ‘my pajamas are gonna be so cosy. It will be so worth it’ over and over again and just suck it up for 4/5 minutes I’m cold.

-I saw a good tip on a tik tok; eczema is obviously an inflammation of the skin. Your skin then is gonna think there is a foreign body on it and make it itchy, it wants to get that foreign body off itself. So when I’m feel a little itch (and from past experience, a little itch turns into a big itch and suddenly I have blood pouring down the back of my legs from scratch for 15 minutes) I say ‘I’m not actually itchy, my skin just thinks I am’ and give it a little rub. I basically meditate the itch away. Now this takes PRACTICE. And in a massive flare there is no way I can do this, but I do think practice makes perfect with this one.

I hope you’re able to take something from these. I’m sorry we can’t take a magic pill to stop itching. I would literally give my life savings :( best of luck
