I'm actually a school psychologist, but I feel the burnout that you all do. I came in to make a difference, advocate for kids with disabilities, and through knowledge and hard work create sweet kumbaya between parents, teachers, and admin.

My first year, I was assigned two elementary schools, but by Christmas was covering four different schools for different people who resigned/were fired/had medical issues. All I had time for really was testing, reports, and meetings. But I still did social skills groups, lunch bunches, and really tried to do consultation and all of the things that they tell us to do in graduate school. I brought work home at night and frequently worked 8am-8pm on Sundays

I know it changes by district and school, just wanted to get a lay of the land.

How much testing do you do versus record review?

How many initials and what do they look like?

Do you do counseling? Is it on the student's IEP?

Manifestation Determinations?

Overall satisfaction level? What do you think of the students?

I wanted to check in after 7 days of my first purposeful nofap reboot. I decided to solidify my commitment (something I've wanted to do for awhile) after I watched this TED talk link (which I'm sure most of you have seen).

These have been my strategies:

• I'm all about engineering the environment to maximize the chances of success first. There is no lube/lotion in my bedroom. I never bring my laptop into my room, and my phone is plugged in across the room (also helps with getting up in the morning the first time when the alarm goes off.)
• Next to my bed I have my Kindle and an Amazon Echo. When I am bored in my bed trying to go to sleep (most

I was wondering about this today, and I am hoping for a solid answer from someone more historically literate than I am. This is assuming that the Republicans=Conservatives and Democrats=liberals which I know is not strictly the case. But when did self-identified Conservatives become more militarily hawkish?

At the founding of the country the fight was between the Federalists and the Anti-federalists. The Federalists wanted a strong central government, which included the ability to have a standing army. The Anti-Federalists were afraid of corruption of the central government so made it more of a priority to allow states to have their own militia's. Their argument is that when there was a ser

Hey everybody, I've never been on this subreddit before, but I need some help.

I have a 16 year old little brother, he has been diagnosed with Aspergers, and recently flunked out of his private High School that Mom and Dad sent him to, and is not invited back.

He has a lot of social anxiety, and does not react well to stimuli, which is consistent in most cases of aspergers. He is almost impossible to communicate with, as any conversation will have him staring off into space while you talk to him.

Anyway, today was a really weird day. First, when the parents got up for work, my brother was gone. He left the house sometime between 11pm (when I went to bed) and he was found by my Mom in so

There have been some great NFL players who played basketball in college, like Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, and Jimmy Graham, guys who would have probably spent their basketball careers in NBA D-league or as a bench warmer somewhere. Teams took a chance on their combination of speed and size to make them match-up nightmares.

I was reading an article today where Cordrelle Patterson is 6'2 and considered big for an NFL WR, and will probably be taken in the first half of the first round. Most NBA point guards are as tall or taller.

So let's say I'm the Steelers and I need a WR, why wouldn't I take a chance on a 6'5 college small forward/shooting guard who might not be good enough for the N
