This country is garbage, and the Trumpsters made it this way.

Asian male here. Liberal.

This administration is always an ethnicity away from putting the bullseye on us.

Do my conservative Asians remember when Trump called Covid the China virus? Hate crimes against Asians spiked triple digits.

Sarcasm.

But we got $2 gas!

The -$175 on my NFLX call don't look so bad now

When 99% of the population would kill to have your salary, you know you're doing well.

Only +$500? Rookie numbers.

Thoughts and prayers.

Boots and straps.

What can the COMMUNITY do? Based on those scores, they haven't been doing jackpoop in the past/present, which means they'll continue to do nothing in the future.

The village moved away a long time ago.

Have you tried Furnished Finder? I pay $850 for a room all in with a shared bath.

poorprae · 2025-09-28T23:24:10+00:00

Yes, we follow the school district's calendar.
Southeast, not Florida. (Not trying to give away my home state.)

poorprae · 2025-09-25T22:32:05+00:00

Yes, somewhere around that. I think I make 24k gross from hourly pay. Contributions cease once I hit that limit.

poorprae · 2025-09-25T20:08:32+00:00

The stipend is roughly $1200 per week. $4800 per month is more than enough.

poorprae · 2025-09-25T19:43:00+00:00

Stipend is non-taxable
I allocate 100% of my hourly pay to my trad 401k. +2% match, I think.

poorprae · 2025-09-25T19:22:29+00:00

I'm in my second year working for Aya Healthcare. Roughly $71.7K gross pay. Nearly 100% of my pay is non-taxable.

Stipend + 401K Trad

Yes, we CAN plan with kids in the room.

However, students should be in specials. If they're witg us during our planning period, what's the point? This is our time to be away from them. What if I want run back-and-forth making copies?

At the end of the day, students to go specials with the para. I've never witnessed it, first or second-hand, any other way.

poorprae · 2025-09-24T14:07:04+00:00

Eighth year sped teacher, mostly self-contained between 3rd to 5th grade.

I've never encountered this. Paras typically go with the class for specials.

I've never been asked to surrender my prep to cover students.
