I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

Need to leave for Canada in roughly a month because of US visa expiry but worried about potential travel restrictions in Canada given the bad covid situation. Are there any provinces that are not as hard hit by covid? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I’m in trading operations. I graduated during COVID and it has been my ultimate goal to become a trader. I know it’s insanely difficult to pivot from back office to trading but I would welcome any advice on making that transition.

I am trying to build my quiet area in my classroom. I am having a hard time finding things that I feel are appropriate for this area during this pandemic. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please and thanks!!! :)

How is your district implementing school reentry? How are you setting up your classrooms to meeting social distancing while still allowing for free play?

What is the etiquette to return the favor when someone hands down toys for your LO? Did Not grow up here so not sure if handing down is normal here culturally or is it people perceiving me as needy or something. Recently got to know neighbors they covid and our kid’s play together. Mine is the youngest to some parents are bringing stuff and handing me over when we meet up. Not sure what to think of it and how to thank them or say no. Don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings? Is this usually a cue?

I can manage my classroom better if I don’t respond to emails outside of office hours. This gives my mind a break and by consequence refreshes me for the next day. It also sets a boundary.

How do you think digital will change post-covid? Ad spend is way down across the board

I am up for Partner this year (Sept 2022). My Partner whom I report to is the Managing Partner (Partner 1) of our service line. Over the last year, any email that he gets from his Managing Partner (his boss - Partner 2) is sent to me where I need to draft the email and send to Partner 1 who sends it to Partner 2 as his own.

When I say every email / request, I really mean every single one, where Partner 1 feels like he can't speak to Partner 2 w/o my input. I should consider this job security.

Accidentally just ate the seeds of a watermelon.. what’s the best way to harvest the watermelons that are now going to grow in my stomach

I’ve been working on a pitch that continues to get delayed and it’s poorly managed. The RFI was due in July. Then days AFTER submission I received an email from the consultant saying we now had until August. End of September rolls around and frankly I had forgotten about this 100-page beast. They want a meet and greet….the following week. The day before the meet and greet we get a list of questions (that aren’t easy softballs). Now 2 weeks later and nothing. What a gross feeling this process is

How can I get experience in profit & loss?

So I’ve been talking to this guy for about 7 months and everytime I bring up our relationship status, his response is that we’re more than friends but not in relationship. He’s introduced me to all his friends and wants to me to get along with them. Idk what to do? I actually like this guy, but is he really worth it?

Hi all! I picked up a part time job as “computer support” a few months ago and have since found myself doing a lot more than anticipated. I handle installation and maintenance of Burglar systems, access control, video surveillance, network systems, POS workstations, VoIP, and payment terminals. I took the job with no “formal” education in tech. My “trainer” at the company was a joke, I basically taught myself everything. What do you think would be a reasonable hourly pay for such a person?

Speaking of PSTH — I have a put selling question. June $20 (NAV price) are going for .48. Isn’t it extremely low risk to sell ~50 puts (assuming $100k liquidity that would otherwise stay in cash) to make $2250 on that? What am I missing?

Question about PTO - my contract says 25 days but is this inclusive of any office shutdown over Christmas/New years (if there is one?). In Sydney office if that provides some context. Thanks!

Do you ever consider becoming a teacher? If you didn’t have a job as paraprofessional what job would you do?

I love my job and have been doing it for years. My Principal is good to me as well! The problem is...the Paraprofessionals at my school are never recognized. You have Teachers Day, Secretaries Day, Principal's Day, etc. Paraprofessional Day comes and goes at my school every year with nothing mentioned to us. Paraprofessionals in my department (Sped) wear many hats on certain days and work extremely hard (mentally/physical)! Does anyone else get this treatment?

Hello :) If your county is returning with ONLINE ONLY, have you been told your roll, or even IF you have a job to start? We are a week out and the support staff has zero information on the return plan pertaining to us.

Hello, I am Tia and I am a paraprofessional at a high school in VA. Ive been a paraeducator for 5 years

I want to say I love working at my school, but I'm a little frustrated. Yesterday was bus driver appreciation and the teachers went outside after school to hold signs for them, amazing right? Today is secretaries day and they posted signs all over the office for them, I find that 100% fantastic! The problem I have is that paras and janitors we're barely acknowledged. Our sunshine said something to us a days after para appreciation day and my team, sped and grade team, both acknowledged us...

Hello, my name is Judith. I have been a paraprofessional for 41 years with Duluth Public Schools. I am also the Chairperson for our bargain ing unit

What are your summer plans?

Hello everyone. Only 3 days left of school. It’s been a tough and draining year.

Happy Teacher's and STAFF appreciation week!!! You matter!!!! Have a great week!!! Blessings and LOVE!!!

For my curiosity, how much are you paid? Do you feel as though it is an appropriate amount for our job?
Me:
PK Para, $1,200/m, no breaks, 22 students(our school breaks down yearly check to pay summer)

I had surgery 3 weeks ago, almost 4 and the doctor has released me to go back to work sinc either was a work injury. I definitely don't feel ready and feel my knee isn't good enough for the stairs.

Anybody else out there getting a boatload of emails, but none of them pertain to you? All of the emails are geared towards returning teachers and the only thin the paras know is our start date.

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

I just wanted to say good morning and this is my first time on Fish Bowl.

A paraprofessional's job is more than just waiting for instructions for the teacher. What would you do if they were yours? It's common sense!

Anyone else's district distance learning? How are you feeling about it?

Does your school have a summer accelerated program? If so, how much does paras get paid?

I have been in my position for 27 years and have never seen such a state of affairs as I have this year (but then, with the pandemic, who has, right?) Well, long story short, we've gone hybrid (some in person, some online). The teacher has been out with surgeries and covid. I have been teaching both groups at the same time. Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?
