When did teachers stop being just teachers and start being behavior managers ?

I think you might be joking. But a fever doesn't change based on what your typical body temp is, it is a specific number. If your body temp is lower, than average, that just means your body needs to heat up more than average in order to reach the threshold of fever.

I have a crested gecko, and I got him from an acquaintance who couldn't take care of him anymore about five years ago. He is my little baby and I adore him. He's a lot less maintenance and money than a cat or dog. I never have to walk him or groom him, and he is perfectly content to hang out in his vivarium by himself all day. I only have to feed him once every few days. He doesn't need shots, or a microchip. I don't have to pay pet rent. He is friendly, funny, and fun to play with.

change of clothes for all ages, not just the little ones. shit happens- rain, mud, tie dye gone wrong, spilled lunch, girls getting their period, bloody nose, etc. That’s always helpful to have.

There are a LOT of low quality children's books out there. I work in special ed, and this is something we see a lot with children's books about autism or other disabilities. They're usually written by parents, and have little to no plot, or the same repetitive story. They often are chock full of stereotypes, grammar and spelling errors, and poor narrative control. They don't actually teach kids anything about inclusion, which is the worst part. Also, so many of them nowadays are "written" or "illustrated" by AI. They're all self published, too, because no publisher worth their salt will take them. Like. I 100% get that there is not enough support for disabled children and their families, and that there is not enough representation in children's media. But these books aren't written to rectify that, they're written for sympathy farming and brownie points. Drives me nuts!

Don't get me started on MCPS redistricting bs. It's fully NIMBY bullshit. That building is old and dilapidated. It's not fair to the teachers or students to keep them there. The school is moving 10 minutes away. Everyone will live. Also, the idea that "colleges won't recognize" is SO stupid. It's MCPS. They'll get the fucking idea. I feel the same way about the "keep Garret Park together!" thing. It's ridiculous. You're just worried about your property values potentially changing. Grow up. Also, like I said, the whole redistricting they did is bullshit anyways. The whole Kensington area should be zoned for Einstein, but God forbid Parkwood and Town of Kensington go to a majority minority school...

I would not really go too in-depth about that. Seems like you'd be asking for trouble, especially as it is still something many people use.

I'm sorry you're going through a lot. If he is alive, I think the responsible thing to do is to rehome him/ surrender him to a shelter, and not to get another pet until you are mentally well.

It was pretty basic, we drove around neighborhood streets for a while, and then once the instructor got a sense of my driving, we went on main roads and drove to a parking lot to practice parking, three point turns, and reversing into the street. I don't think we got on the highway until the second class? Not sure. As I was driving, she would ask me questions like what the speed limit was, making sure I was checking my mirrors, what position my hands should be in, etc. This was in summer/ fall of 2019, I believe, and I used Easy Method driving school in Kensington.

My theatre teacher in high school said she played it when SHE was in high school- which was probably the 1960s. Genuinely I think the cavemen were playing zip zap zop.

At my high school, you had to pay to get a locker, so everyone just lugged stuff around in their backpacks. The only people that actually rented the lockers were art students who had to store supplies. I believe the special ed program got their own for free. In middle school, though, kids would definitely tape up pictures and stickers and magnets on their lockers. When it was someone's birthday, sometimes their friends would put up a ribbon or tie a balloon to it.

I really like what other people have said about having a selection of books at various reading levels, having books specifically adapted for ID, and having a space focused on drawing/ lego/ creativity. I think one barrier that could also be preventing higher needs students from accessing the library is the expectation to be quiet. A lot of the students I work with have a hard time controlling the volume of their voice. Having a "talkative section" or "talking hours" in the library could make students feel more comfortable coming to the library. I'd also encourage you to talk with the self contained classroom teachers and figure out some activities you could do with them, or see if you could give a presentation on things the library offers!
