So my supervisor over preschool was making site ‘visits’ last week. So the director was in my classroom not wearing a mask and was not practicing social distancing. What can I do(The director is not a person you can reason with. Talks down to the teachers)? Any advice?
Clarification: The reason for the site visit is that the ECE department is up for review this year and all admin are snapping at us for every little thing. Anything else then perfection is not acceptable.

Our nurse has an email group of our states school nurses that she can bounce ideas off, or ask questions etc. Is there anything like that for secretaries? Teachers are keen to share how they handle things in their classrooms, but every school does attendance, has messages that need to be relayed thru the day, all these things going on, I just always wonder how it's handled elsewhere. I took this position two years ago and I don't like "This is just how it's always been done".

Ladies, need some recommendations. I have some scarring and dark spots on my face, thanks to years of fighting acne. I am looking at microneedling with and without PRP and wondering if some of you have tried it and what’s been your experience. I have keloids on the back and bit nervous to take the plunge. My aesthetician doesn’t think I should worry about it but wondering if anyone else was on the same boat and still went ahead with the treatment.
