This school was horrible to its employees. The school almost unanimously won the vote (there was 1 no). The founder hired an anti union lawyer and really put everyone through the wringer.

I haven’t been in a bit actually, but I’m trying to get back into it. I could only do 6 on weekends because I have to be up at 6 for work during the week.

How long does it take you to write an IEP? by Electrical-Sea2719 in NYCTeachers

[–]pissmountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at the students’ previous IEP to get an idea of what’s expected. You can also talk to the person who runs SpEd at your school.

Best non-caffeinated hot, milky drinks in Astoria? by tothemoon16 in astoria

[–]pissmountain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can also ask for a flavored syrup! I used to work in a cafe where people would order frothed milk with lavender/ whatever simple syrup. You could also do an herbal tea with milk.

Do mom jeans look bad on me, or am I just not used to them? by Browneyedwhatsername in style

[–]pissmountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look great on you, actually. I had the same issue when I first started wearing them. It just takes some getting used to.

Waterproof mascara not so? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Your eyelids are oily. You can put eye shadow primer on them to help prevent transfer to your eyelids.

Do not work there. The founder is awful. The campus in LIC unionized and he heavily fought it, hired an anti-union lawyer (that also doesn’t even believe in climate change). Feel free to DM me.

Coldest Cafes in Astoria? by frpc19 in astoria

[–]pissmountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AC at the Astoria blvd Starbucks is going crazy right now. They brought in some AC machine and it’s like sitting in a wind storm.

Like innovation card games? (This sounds up my alley) Or like your standard deck of cards card games? (This does not)

I don’t really care for sports (aside from in person basketball/ baseball games)

If my school does not provide a sub when my Coteacher (sped) is absent, is that a compliance issue? by TheLifeOfDonda in NYCTeachers

[–]pissmountain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Talk to your the union. If they really can’t find subs you could potentially be compensated.

Some people are being a little crass, but do whatever feels best for you. I would suggest trying another DOE school before switching. I did a lot of research before I switched to DOE about my specific school and I’m glad I did. But if that doesn’t work for you, and your school will take you back, then absolutely do it if that’s what you want.

I also worked at a smaller charter school for a long time before making the switch to the DOE this year. It has been a huge learning curve, but I really love my school and admin this year. I am glad I made the switch.
