everpresentshades-blog asked: Maybe this is finally the school taking notice of that kid who was bothering her.
I would hope if something was truly wrong like that, they wouldn’t wait half a week before setting up a meeting!
Sweetie Belle’s a trouble maker. She rules the schools with an iron hoof, taking lunch money and kicking flank.
I certainly hope not!
Anyway, I need to send Boscov a message.
ask-sweetie-belle asked: Oh, Lyra... I forgot to mention this to you earlier. I'm really sorry about that. Anyway, my teacher told me that she'd like to have a conference-thing with you and I. Well... she said my parents, but-... I didn't correct her or anything. It's um... Thursday... can you come?
Oh… Of course. Maybe I can get Bon-Bon to come to, and we can get Bosc-uh… Krastos to look after Tootsie while we’re gone.
Any idea what this might be about, though?
Anonymous asked: Why would you give Bon-Bon 400 pillows?
I just saw that picture.
The comments said it was something from iCarly. I’ve never watched it. The commercials made it out to look insipid.
I hate shows that assume the audience are afraid to be told a real story with dynamic characters, outside of specials (though, even then, only on occasion).
Anonymous asked: This might be a bit personal, but did you cuddle any with Krastos? And if so, was he basically a giant teddy bear?
You’re right, it is personal.
I will say that we hugged, and he was very warm and fuzzy, and it made me smile.

That would probably be much more difficult than what I’m doing.
And by probably, I mean definitely.
theblackstrawberry asked: Ohh okay. Sorry I haven't been on tumblr since lunch, so I've read things from 4 hours ago.
It’s all good in the ‘hood!
jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: thank god.... but i remember her going though pair after pair of sunglasses b/c they'd break them
Well, this is a relatively structured classroom. They give out homework and everything! Toward the end of class I even spoke with a colt that has cerebral palsy about Deus Ex: Human Revolution!
I was talking to Cheerilee at one point a while back and she told me sometimes in classrooms like that, things like learning how to work a calculator can be a challenge, even at the high school level. Homework can be completely out of the question. All depends on the mixture of students that get grouped together.
Most important thing to do is remain positive. The students are trying, and that’s the important part.
In fact, memory serves me from when I was in high school, that’s more than teachers could sometimes get out of students without any disabilities!
theblackstrawberry asked: That's okay, you should just rest your head. I heard Sweetie Belle can sing good lullabies! maybe you should ask her to sing to you so you can sleep!
Um… What?
I already took a nap today. I’m fine.
Might have napped for too long, though.
jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: never mind dont answer that
I already answered the last question you sent that I received.
Anonymous asked: What's an MI/MO?
Mildly/Moderately, with regards to ability to respond to instruction and complete tasks. I work in the Special ED department.
jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: mk, my parents both were teachers. dad taught misic and mom spec. ed
I’d have more in common with your Mom, career-wise, at the moment.
everpresentshades-blog asked: So how was work anyway? Kids give you any lip? Were any of them spending most of their lives living in Gangsta's Paradises?
It was fine. I’m working with MI/MO students. Very little resistance, once they understand what’s being asked of them. It’s a pretty positive environment, overall.
And no, but I can’t resist quite possibly the greatest rap song of all time. To this day, I believe the ponies writing that piece knew exactly how huge it was going to be.
jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: what grade range do you teach?
I don’t teach. I’m an aid. I just help out the teacher.
I’m signed up to work at primary and high schools, but not junior high.
More on that in the next answer.
theblackstrawberry asked: I would ask you if you wanted to hang out tomorrow, but then i remembered you have a job and are probably going to be too exhausted...
Pretty tired yeah…
I’ve got Tootsie and Sweetie home. Probably going to take a nap. Didn’t sleep much last night.
Bon-Bon thinks it was anxiety. Probably right.
