Civil servant 😂 exciting, huh?
What exactly do you do?
Home health aide
Domestic violence advocate (social work) and a mommy 🙂
Oh my goodness that must be challenging…..for both
Both can be! But I love my job and my boys so it just works. I work 3rd shift so if it wasn’t for my hubby I don’t know how I could handle it lol.
Wow! That’s got to be a challenge! You must be organized and mentally strong! Kudos to social workers. <3
Adjunct Social Work faculty at a university and full time business analyst in higher ed technology
Very cool! What exactly does that entail?
@Sharon, I was an academic advisor for 8 years. Now I work with developers on designing and testing new technology that will be used by academic advisors and students.
Cool
That sounds awesome! I want to be an advisor; I work in admissions right now.
@Gretchen, I loved it!
You’re at IU! Go Hoosiers!! I graduated from Kelley in 87!
Retired. Was IT for a non-profit, teacher before that, and drove the bookmobile for my local library for 5 years after I retired and moved.
Nice! Good for you! Where did you move from and too?
From Bergen County NJ to Ocean County NJ.
I want to drive a bookmobile!
Nurse
Dr office? Hospital? I give nurses a lot of credit. I am not sure I could do it
@Sharon I work in a drs office… my hats off to you for being a special education teacher 👩🏫
Teacher. Currently 5th grade inclusion. Always taught ESE in some capacity.
What type of inclusion? I work with children under the age of 3 who have a diagnosis of autism
Varying exceptionalities. Most of them are SLD. I also have ASD, EBD, MH, and one that has PANDAS. HER LABEL IS OHI.
My county places them in regular ed classes as much as possible. So I am a 5th grade teacher but I have ESE kids also. I have 20 kids total, 10 with IEP’s, 1 has a 504. I also have one with autism that comes for math only.
My school is also an ESE hub school. We have kids bussed in from all over the county. One wing is all self contained ESE. We have designated ESE classes for autistic, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, Pre-k, and EBD on campus. The wing also includes rooms for all their therapies and a pool they use for PE if they can’t be included in regular PE.
@Audrey wow… sounds busy! I’m a teacher too, with some training in Special Ed.. it certainly keeps us busy… currently taking a year off.. or as much time off before I go crazy!
@Audrey that sounds amazing!!!
It is very busy. Makes the days and year go fast. I do have a full time paraprofessional. I would go nuts without her. I have requested not to be inclusion next year so I can get a break from the extra load of work before I burn out.
@Audrey Wow! Where do you live?
Marion county in central Florida
@Karla we have 5 fifth grade classes. I have 1 of 2 inclusion classes. The other one has only 3-4 IEP kids but she also has more 504 kids. We each have our own paraprofessional and we had a support facilitator until medical issues made it so we lost that support person.
It is crazy but it works. The kids get intensive remediation and have made a lot of growth academically, socially and behaviorally this year.
@Audrey I live in a fairly rural area of Ohio and am amazed at the level of services you have and the facilities you need to provide them!
Out of all the schools in my county only a few have this level of services. We have 1 school that is 100% ESE students and 3 hub schools. The rest may have only 1-2 ESE classes with therapists that are on campus 1-2 time a week. We have 45ish elementary schools. My district has over 42000 kids.
@Audrey oh my! Mine has 2000! 😳

High school English teacher and a CASA volunteer.
What is CASA?
It stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate, and it’s a program in which volunteers work with children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Basically, you learn about the case, get to know the children and the adults involved, and work with DCS to make recommendations to the court about what should happen. You become a voice for the child in the courtroom. It’s a nationwide program which is always in need of volunteers — if anyone is interested and has a free hour or so a week, I highly recommend checking it out!
Well thank you for doing what you do. I have a little one right now that has been removed and it is stressful for all involved
English was my all time favorite class! ♥️♥️♥️
Agreed, @Stephanie! And a good english teacher can stick with you in so many good ways for years!!
@Stephanie Yes!

I am a retired (40 years) Police Officer who does 6= hours a day working the stock market, two hours working out and all I can grab READING.👮🏻🌞
Nice!!! Thank you for your service! What an interesting career switch!
Where did you serve?
@Stephanie Indianapolis Police Department 👮🏻I retired as a Major in Internal Affairs and Special Investigations. Since my job was to lock-up and sometimes cause Officers to lose their job, my retirement party consisted of me.👮🏻😊
@Michael Sorry…! I am from Indiana. Have lots of family and friends in Indy. Lived there from post high school until a couple of years post college. It started to come to life right around the time we left! Thanks for your service! With a 2 hour workout every day, you must be pretty fit. Do you participate in any runs or triathlons or the like? Wonder if you know any of my friends.
@Stephanie Have made it a priority in my life to stay thin and fit. Too many fat cops, plus I always felt I needed to be able to take action if I had too when on the street.Cant do that if I have to lug extra pounds to the fight. I used to be the designated Department runner. Knees have finally slowed me down but I’ll never quit. 👮🏻😊
What would it take to get more cops more fit? Message me if you’re willing to help answer some questions for me! I’d love to get some info from someone with an insiders view!

Yes it is theres so much to being in a classroom that non teachers do not realize
Not to mention the continuing stresses put on teachers with no money to accomplish them. I could write a book about it.

And we go with them and help them with goals assigned by Dr’s or psychologists
Okay…now it makes more sense! Thanks! And bless you for what you do!

Teachers, nurses, civil workers, business owners have more compassion, feeling and the ability to strip away the untruths that the media portrays, when you are in that classroom, on that surgical team having to manage workers and time constraints and budgets you realize what the truth actually is, just an observation but the vast majority of the comments are from women. I guess that’s why I have been married to a retired math teacher for forty-one years.you are
