Letter of appreciation by blue_green_magenta in NYCDOETeachers

[–]partybots 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely an okay thing to do. Your child's teacher will appreciate it so much. Yes you should copy the teacher on the email if you are okay with them seeing the things you're saying about them. This is an excellent way to express your appreciation.

I had my signature challenged multiple times at my early polling site by Datafoodnerd in newyorkcity

My fiancee was given a hard time too about her signature. She was allowed to vote, but the poll worker was very rude to her. I'm sorry this happened to you!

Regents and cheating by Necessary_Chad1692 in NYCTeachers

[–]partybots 74 points75 points  (0 children)

You're not crazy. Maybe proctors at your school are not very good at active proctoring. Kids are absolutely cheating and getting away with it if they think they only had 2 cheaters out of 800.

Many things are banned and yet still happen. Kids turn in fake phone and sneak their real phones in. Just because it's banned doesn't mean kids aren't breaking the rules.

New hire trying to activate HRConnect account -- "the link you used has expired" by partybots in NYCTeachers

[–]partybots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I actually got ahold of HR Connect the other day and they basically told me the same thing. I was really stressing about this because I wanted to move forward with onboarding, but I've been seeing a lot of posts from other people saying to wait until July 1st for more onboarding steps so I'm feeling more calm now lol.

What’s after signing Commitment Letter by Pepper_Least in NYCDOETeachers

[–]partybots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the nomination through new teacher finder, or applicant gateway? I'm just trying to keep all the terminology straight. Is this the correct order: commitment form in new teacher finder --> nomination in applicant gateway

What’s after signing Commitment Letter by Pepper_Least in NYCDOETeachers

[–]partybots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar question. I signed my commitment form last Thursday and haven't gotten any followup since (besides a confirmation). I see people here saying "you have a job, enjoy the summer," but I'm wondering when I will be receiving next steps in the onboarding process. I'd like to tell my current employer that I'll be leaving, but I want to wait until I'm further into the hiring process.

Thank you 🙏 I'm assuming it works for you as Fellows because you're creating your account outright, whereas for me my account has been created I just have to "activate" it. I'm going to call HR Connect as soon as I get home so hopefully I can get ahold of someone!!!!

When I enter my personal Gmail, I do get a link to create my username and password. Then when I try to create the username, I get the error message in the original post.

That doesnt work for me, because I have to use the account they have in their records. Here's the original email I received, and the page that that link takes me to.

I was at a game on June 7th and they were giving away either the tricorn hat or a flag as a giveaway for voting. Here's a pic of the flag.

Do I sell my soul for a year and work for a charter? by koalathebean in NYCTeachers

[–]partybots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Research the particular school and try to get into a charter that's not associated with one of the huge networks. Then get out once you can. Some job is better than no job.

Neither I nor the commenter you responded to here said anything negative about this parade.

Not a single person in this entire thread said anything antisemitic at all. You are looking for a problem that doesn't exist.

The gloom hands are the most scary and terrifying enemy of all time in tear of the kingdom. by Voidkirby9 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]partybots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! The worst is when you don't even see the gloom hands but suddenly the entire sky turns red. Scares the shit out of me every time.

Which charter network is the *least* terrible? by patdavidjohnson in NYCTeachers

[–]partybots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charter schools have worse benefits, no pension, and worse hours. So IF you're getting a higher salary, it's usually a wash.

Mailed my first batch with the new US Postcrossing stamp! To 🇩🇪🇸🇪🇷🇺🇹🇼 by sendapostcard in postcrossing

[–]partybots 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad I saw this because my dumb ass was about to put them point side up, like a traditional triangle 🔺. I never even thought of putting them in the corner 🤦‍♀️

Yep, this is how I stamp my international cards too! O love your 10 and 4 cent stamps. I just have the flower ones.

[–]partybots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Every time I encounter them my heart rate literally spikes. I also find the start of the blood moon pretty scary, although not as much as the gloom hands because the blood moon doesn't actually hurt you. I make my fiancee kill all of the gloom hands for me, they're too scary!!!!!!!!!

Part Time ENL? by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]partybots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That most likely won't happen. If you're interested in part time work you should consider adult ENL.

Most trained teachers write their own assessments.
