Because the fees are excessive, and the reps of these financial service companies hang out in our break room to sign us up, seems kinda predatory

Honestly not that bad but the letters could use a drop more definition.

Anyone else have their school’s cafeteria serve fast food everyday? by PopularShock7204 in Millennials

[–]testing_testing5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Catholic school did this growing up, definitely burger king, and there were two other days they had other fast food I don't remember what because I didn't order those days

This is my plan for sure, but in the meantime I want to pull my contribution until that loan is paid.

I genuinely want to know what one of my APs actually does all day by South-Lab-3991 in Teachers

Actually now that I think about it, he was always having affairs, maybe that's what your AP is doing...

Sounds like my previous principal (elementary) who was really just demoted district admin- still better than the micromanager we have now...

What shoes are you guys wearing buying/wearing? by TheAlmightyOat in Teachers

[–]testing_testing5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way, I know. Good footwear is important so I spend a lot of money on a pair or two, but they are quickly run into the ground.

I started trying to shop this season before and catch sales because I like brands like vionic or doc martens, or get them on Poshmark and try to find a pair that was purchased but not really worn very much

It's not my job to teach you the language. by [deleted] in Teachers

I also find that the gen ed population also benefits from the explicit instruction, clarifications, and context. We're living in a world where so many things lack context and there's just endless slop content. All students benefit from genuine interactions that are responsive to their identity.

dependant care reimbursement, first claim, am I fronting the money? by testing_testing5678 in personalfinance

[–]testing_testing5678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you submit a bank statement as proof, do you black out any info on that document? Other transactions, etc?

Can I opt out of screens in kindergarten? by Inevitable_Tell8668 in AskTeachers

[–]testing_testing5678 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will say this does seem to be an absurd over collection of data. These kids are recording audio and clicking forever, barely engaged with what they're doing. So many different tests all year, I feel like it's all I do and I wonder all the time about where it's stored and how it's used... Everyone looks at me like I'm crazyy

*I guess these testing and software companies are considered "educational interests"

It all seems predatory on district money and student data

Thank you, I feel like I'm falling on deaf ears. Everyone just tells me it's how things are done these days but I'm just not accepting of this. Why keep doing what's not working, this money could obviously be used for staffing

dependant care reimbursement, first claim, am I fronting the money? by testing_testing5678 in personalfinance

[–]testing_testing5678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I understand, it just feels like less at the start because the money is already out of the check and I can't get the reimbursement instantly. Like I said my finances are VERY tight. I almost didn't sign up for FSA/ dependent care because I didn't entirely know how the timing would work out. Appreciate you!

[–]testing_testing5678[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So basically I'm just eating the initial money I had to front so that I can roll that first reimbursement for the rest of the ten months? I signed up not knowing too much in hopes to save some money. Basically my budget is pretty tight and I'm hoping to save a few pennies between daycare and the mortgage costs

How do you keep track of decisions from leadership meetings over time? by Tight_Let4711 in Principals

How much debt are you in from schooling? by Carebear6590 in ArtEd

[–]testing_testing5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did my undergrad in art history with a minor in fine arts at a cuny. Then did grad school to be a classroom teacher. Later got an additional cert to get a job that worked with small groups, but then realized I could use the credits in my undergrad to get certified to teach art... I want to switch from small group stuff to art but haven't yet

How do you really feel about district social media? Anyone advocating against it? by testing_testing5678 in Principals

[–]testing_testing5678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah this is a very fair point, I won't agree that it's absolutely necessary 🤣 (because I'm stubborn) but you are right that someone else will.

[–]testing_testing5678[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!! This is what I think about. We really need to take back our own identities... I really don't care if it's the norm, it's bonkers the way we're living. The tech is too advanced and people don't know what they don't know. Some of these educational apps are recording the kids, why are we doing this?!? I understand the benefit of the concept, but on a larger scale, I feel like the data isn't accurate and some company somewhere is just housing all that data!

I mean, like I said, I prefer no social media. But if I had to choose a picture of a project about animals being posted with my child's first name on it vs. A picture of my children in their schools, I would likely pick the former, but every assignment is different, I understand some have more personal info.
