I’m in a self-contained classroom. 10 kids and 8 adults. Small room. Yesterday one of our aides told me she tested positive. But no one has told us. The protocol is an email goes out saying someone tested positive and close contacts of been notified. They Haven’t sent the email or told us. Why? because the whole program would shut down because we are on top of each other all day. What an insult to the aides!

I manage 2 physician practices and one is extremely toxic. To the point the dr sides with staff even when I am trying to make corrective actions when patient care is in jeopardy. My leadership is aware and knows I am keeping my distance from them. Just doing the necessary work to keep them producing. How do you handle this? It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card.

I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to an early stage startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic. It feels like we’re becoming more sales led, there are too many pivots (I expected some) our roadmap is becoming influenced by sales/ceo. Essentially, we’re trying to do much. It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…

what kind of professional development does your district provide you?

Just out of curiosity, are any Paraeducators (or teachers) working on transitional goals with their students? I work with the sped population and I just started working with high school student. I’m looking for outside resources to teach my students independent living skills. This is a new area for me and any guidance would be helpful!

How do we feel about sped aides constantly being on their phones when with students? It’s pervasive in our building and is driving me crazy. Yes there are down times but this is beyond that. Am I expecting too much as a fellow aide for everyone to be as engaged as I am?

Do you get pulled to sub? Can ypu refuse? How much extra do you get paid?

Does your district offer professional development that is relevant to your job?

I am in self-contained. Our students are never sent home even tho they are obviously ill. Only projectile vomiting sends a student home.

I am in a self-contained cross category room. Grades 2-4. We have kiddos who need to be placed in therapeutic schools but those schools are understaffed due to Covid — their staff found other jobs during the shutdown—and so can’t take them. Several of our kids are huge. I have been slammed hard on the back, chased around the room to hit me, kicked, bitten, clawed, hair pulled. Is anyone else experiencing heightened behaviors?

Our principal does not want we 1:1 aides at IEP meetings for our student. The mother of my student had to insist I be included. I was ignored at the meeting until the mother said, I’d like to hear from Sarah. Anyone else experience this?
