If my school canceled my planning time without advance notice, I'd have an email drafted to my association before the school day was out,...
My district hasn't tried this. If they ever do, I'll probably just roll my eyes, ignore it, and wait for it to go away. I really can't imagine...
*shrug* If kids don't pass their state test, it makes me look bad, not a para. If a student doesn't meet their IEP goals, I'm asked why, not a...
From my experience both with general ed and special ed, a para can do any of those things, but they do it under the supervision of a teacher. In...

I'd never pay for IXL myself, but whenever parents ask for resources, it's one I always throw out (among other cheaper options). I've never heard...
Pasco County is fairly specific; teachers may be uncomfortable identifying themselves on a public forum like that. Do you have any more general...
I would, but with the way my school is set up, there's no feasible path to driving out of the parking lot at 4:00, and street parking isn't an option.
Twice a week for the fall. In the spring, it'll probably just be once a week because I'll be taking the credits towards an administrative internship.
Yes, I have some disagreements with my admin about things, but they are very reasonable about things like this (and it probably helps that I'm...

I need to decide what I'm doing next year, and I have to do it by Thursday at the latest. I have four job opportunities in front of me that all...
