Thank you so much! I just sent it from my school account. I could not agree more that kinja needs some sort of private messaging system.

Thanks for the reply Mitsy, I really appreciate it. The syllabus says public school, though the big part of what we are meant to ask about seems to be experiences working with IEPs and section 504s and all that goes into those. Do children you work with have IEPs that young? I can always check with my professor to be…

Wow that sounds amazing! I have had a lot more with large motor control issues and have run classes through a local program for adults with various needs before. I wish the local program had had something like IEPs to give me in advance though, there were so many different preferences in the one class and trying to…

So long as she was in the public school system in the U.S. that works perfectly :) Thank you so much for helping me with this! How would I go about proving my honorable intentions? I have a letter from my university introducing me as their student and the nature of the assignment if that helps.

Thank you for your offer Krishna, unfortunately my professor wants the teacher interviewed to work in a public school. I would love to hear about your experiences though! I have had some experience working with children and adults with special needs as a dance teacher and am always looking for new ways to adapt my…

Thanks teachermama, unfortunately my professor wants a full time special ed teacher instead of a general ed teacher for this particular interview, though I would love to hear any advice you have to offer! Is the full inclusion practice school-wide?

Hello wonderful Jezzies, I have a big favor to ask. I need to find an educator for students with special needs to interview for approximately an hour this week. Email or gchat are viable modes of communication, I just can't get a hold of any people locally since school is out and all the camps for special needs are…

Nice! It's this one, and now it looks like they added colors. This could become addictive :)

Hahaha I don't care if you do work for them, I got an adorable looking dress that is going to fit my monstrous boobs for $40, shipping included. That is so much cheaper I actually ordered a pink crinoline to go under it to be extra swooshy. I am so excited for this now, thank you thank you thank you!

Thanks for the great tip, I will definitely look there again when I have more monies in a bit!

Thanks for all the great ideas last week!

Thank you so much for your advice last week! I currently have a pretty yellow dress winging its way to me and have extremely high hopes :)

I just about started crying in the dressing rooms today while trying to find something to wear to my cousin's wedding. Half of the dresses in xl (which of course was the largest that department store went up to....went shopping with my dad's gf) could not go over my boobs. The dresses would be made of stretchy…

Hugs! That is a horrible thing for them to put you through and I'm glad that your husband is there to help you stay centered. The mom half is so very hurtful, but it is a realistic decision on her part. I second the Al-Anon suggestion, and perhaps you can revisit this conversation with her after growing your support…

Express your disbelief that someone thinks they are smart enough to hold down a job since they failed/cheated on that one test way back then. Or that they are just so much nicer than they were back in college. Jeez, you were such a bitch back then and now you are like a functional member of polite society, mostly.…

Yeah, I was vaguely uncomfortable with the joke, but Daily Show did pull off the delivery in such a way that it did not really relate to her weight. The rest of that segment- less so. This came up at a party I was at today, and my grandma started defending her racist remarks. That was my cue for another drink.

That sounds really adorable, and based on watching the wedding shenanigans of my older cousin, the homemade gifts get all the tears. Registry gifts get thank yous, and every single homemade gift has been a waterfall.

Thanks for the tip about redbubble! Finally found something that doesn't seem forced and impersonal for the estranged now-teenaged sister's birthday. It is late, but how will she know, as I have yet to see her. Sigh. But it is a really cute Adventure Time one that I think she'll like, so thank you!

I have had horrible skin since I was ten, and just had kind of given up hope of seeing the smooth skin the commercials show on my own face. Then I gave up caffeine for a while, and BAM! My skin cleared up. It was amazing. Still a couple right around period-time, but small pored awesomeness for most of the month. Now…

I want to recommend this at least a hundred times. The "oh this is just GRRM doing a lazy reset, why can't the people I love stay alive like Harry Potter did" are forgetting that there are undead ice corpses running about above the Wall unchecked. Big picture people. This power struggles is not all about who gets to…
