Sometimes I'm just at a loss. Today, I met with the parents of a 2nd grader to try and set up SBA (Speech by Appt). Despite trying my best, the parents don't want their child in speech even though there are some issues going on that I'd like to try and correct. I tried my best to be persuasive but they weren't having it. I'm just in shock... why wouldn't they want their daughter to be able to have therapy? I feel like there will be social consequences of having speech issues down the road...

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July.

I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about.

Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

Hi!!!

What cheat sheets do you all use for writing IEP goals? Is it from the district?

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.
