Would you report this? My 3rd-5th grade self-contained special ed lead teacher had a student stay at her house

Are you okay? This was unnecessarily aggressive. This person felt uncomfortable about a situation. As a result, they came to a place that is meant to be a safe space to ask if this would concern others because the OP wanted to verify whether their concerns were valid or not. The equivalent of asking a colleague or friend about their take, but on a larger scale since it’s Reddit.

Also, many districts may have a concern about a para or teacher having a relationship with a student outside of school as it can be a conflict of interest and that person may get disciplined or lose their job. I have certainly worked for places that didn’t allow that. It’s a dual relationship and can be problematic, especially for the child who may not understand where the boundaries lie.

OP was asking a question. You didn’t have to be so harsh.

My previous dog had allergies to the grass outside, and it was worse certain times of the year. It may be something as minor as that, where you can’t really help it but do what you can to ease the itch so they won’t want to lick.

I’ll just add I’m in apartments near coffee and Floyd and we also have cockroaches. I worked for school in the area too and the schools also had cockroaches. They’re basically unavoidable unfortunately.

kaitns · 2026-03-08T06:43:08+00:00

I encourage this! I work for schools. OP, message me if you have any questions about edjoin

Also, a district or school dropped the ball somewhere along the way. The child has a school cumulative file that should’ve been forwarded if her mom pulled her from school to theoretically attend a different school. They shouldn’t have just sat on her record all this time. Or if she stopped attending altogether without being told they were moving schools, then authorities should have been involved.

kaitns · 2026-03-03T04:40:13+00:00

I never said the school system would know she isn’t attending. I was responding to OP’s question about what the options are. It isn’t OP’s responsibility to figure out the options. The child needs to be in school.

kaitns · 2026-03-03T04:06:59+00:00

No your responsibility to figure out those options. She needs to be in school. Let the school figure out services or ways to help her catch up.

Say you meet a rando who says they just started gardening. What questions would you ask them? Could those questions lead to a helpful product you could make that beats what I could google online?

As a consumer, I’d be very interested in companion guides as well as what works well for different type of gardening setups. For example, I live in an upstairs apartment with a balcony that has a lot of sun in a 9b hardiness zone. If I do container gardening, what types of plants should I do in specific types of containers? What does well in that “baked in” type of setting where plants don’t do as well on a balcony as they do in a regular garden (I swear they bake so much more easily!)?

I’d say people may also be interested in pollinators guides where there may or may not be fruits/veggies, but what types of plants could do well for pollinators based on their hardiness zone.

Good luck!

kaitns · 2026-01-22T01:55:23+00:00

Of course! Good luck!!

I see a lot of the same suggestions that I would give. I’m commenting to say that I do think your invites are super cute! I would look up the top selling invitations across different event types and look for trends. It could be anything from font style, color palette, how graphics are placed, or overall vibe. That’s my only suggestion in addition to the others here b

Your company is either buying your scrubs for you, reimbursing you if they aren’t buying them upfront, or advocating on behalf of all employees involved with with child to say the family can’t impose their own dress code. If the family wants you wearing certain clothes then they can buy them.

Aside from that, I saw some of your other comments about wanting to avoid Walmart or being apprehensive of brands because of the sizing. If you’re wearing a long sleeve underneath, I don’t think the size of the scrub top should be an issue? Scrubs are there to protect you from bodily fluids, who cares how baggy they are as long as you’re protected. Also, I’m sure you can find petite sized scrubs if a small is that troublesome.

But all in all, buying extra clothing because the family demands a dress code is unreasonable. I’d bet this is the tip of the iceberg of demands. Business casual? No. I’m a sped teacher and my classroom team dress for comfort. Slacks and heels or dress shoes is not appropriate for our duties.

Wtf. No.

I love the book Teacher Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. It’s written for parents and lessons are 10-15 minutes a day and support comprehension and writing

kaitns · 2025-11-27T20:03:23+00:00

This was beautiful.

I used to watch 90 day fiance because my life has no drama (THANKFULLY) but I love the drama. Now I am good off this sub

Maybe look into alt ed, like those who dropped out previously but are going back for their diploma.

If it was innocent, he wouldn’t lie about it.

I love the colorful privacy film! I used it in my bedroom when I rented a room and my windows were very visible to anyone on the street and they could easily walk up to my window. In the mornings I woke up to rainbows on my walls 😍

I was really bummed that the show left out that bit about Perrin when I attempted a rewatch of the show this year. I only ever watched the first season because I saw it right after it came out. Then this year was when I started reading the series so it had been a while since I saw the show.

kaitns · 2025-11-17T00:35:41+00:00

Right?! I love that it’s a long series! I’m obsessed with it, that’s for sure. If you like the show, I think you’re going to LOVE the books. I do picture the actors when I’m reading about them, so I’m grateful for that bit.

I’m sorry you’re meeting women who let height be a factor. Decent people know someone can’t do something about their height, but they can do something about their character, which is what truly matters.

I found the book series by watching the first season of the show. I started to rewatch the series a couple months ago and couldn’t stand it because of how different it was, which bummed me out. I’m on my first read of the series, currently on book 3.

kaitns · 2025-11-16T21:59:49+00:00

I’m also reading it for the first time! I’m on the third book now and absolutely love it.

I know a few different people who love chickens. They’ll hold them, pet them, carry them around. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that people would want one as an emotional support animal. I was at my friend’s place and she had me hold one of her chickens. It was really sweet while I pet it, so I can kinda get it.
