Sacramento City Unified needs 270 special educators. How it plans to hire before school starts https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article290315329.html

I get really giggly when I’m nervous, and laugh at basically everything anyone says. It makes me appear quite immature in front of client & coworkers... Any tips on how to calm my nerves?

Who’s working on the twitter acquisition? The dataroom has to be nuts.

Folks I want to pick your catholic mind on the American election. I’ve seen Pro life and Pro choice being a major topic all these times and now the Supreme Court being dragged into it.Do you think the politicians are really protecting life or is it just to lure the conservative or right wingers 🧐🧐🧐

Looking for good half marathons to run in San Jose. New to the area. All the upcoming races are either hill or trail runs. Are there any road races for a flatter option?

Hi,
What could happen if we do not work in the current organisation after putting down the papers?
Though the LWD is yet to be received from the Manager.
Thanks

Having to call Marriott to apply a suite night award to an SPG hotel on a reservation you made before the merger and combining accounts proves to you how much is still SO WRONG with this merger.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Does anyone have experience with t-mobile internet? I'm so sick of dealing with Comcast!

What's the point of all this research if nobody ever reads it?

Was told I had to leave a Marriott hotel last night mid stay due to a fire alarm compliance issue. They credited 6k points and gave me a room at a nearby Marriott property for the night. Con’t...

I love when my dog comes up and cuddles/sleeps on me, but she gives off so much heat! Like a little Chernobyl lying on my chest

How’s the morale over at dentsu?

Reallocated some of my WPF position to PSFE. They are post SPAC merger but both will be long term holds for me.

Looking for a lighter/puffer winter jacket and figured at this point I’ll wait until they go on sale. Does that ever happen with Barbour, Patagonia, Northface etc?

In general? Or advertising

I’ll be taking a look at all the recent SPACs that had huge runs. The plan is to watch for momentum to start fading and play some puts at or around merger votes. A lot of these plays are priced to perfection on revenues 5+ years away. Will some make it big? Yes. Will some fail, yes. Also starting to watch the warrant exercise requirements. All of these have huge supply coming to market and I plan to be on the other side of the retail suckers

HOL is going to break a lot of hearts on the way down. I hope they pump all the way into 2nd quarter. Also hoping options get added for my put play

Rumors of IPOF getting Equinox. Thoughts?

My students come to my class first every morning and are really hard to settle. They continue to carry on whatever they were doing on the bus. It takes about 20 min to get them settled down and doing the warm up and the class is only 45 min. Any tips?

I don’t know about you, but this year, I want to get better at having a work/life balance. I love having the time in the summer to do things around the house, but struggle when the school year starts. If you have any tips, suggestions, or systems that have worked for you when it comes to planning, etc. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I am teaching 4 sections of math this year. My school curriculum is IReady. Which find to be to complex and busy for SPED kids. Does anyone use an interactive notebook along with standard curriculum? If so what fo you use?

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

What has been your greatest challenge this year and how have you overcome?

Too many cooks in the kitchen

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

Educational book recommendations! I love to read, please list any educational books you loved, especially related to special education!
