Words to Know
So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90’s who still know it). Or so it seems based on… a grumpy comment I got.
When you see an arrow like this:
It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.
It’s an accordion section/menu! It’s useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.
Here I’m using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don’t need them and don’t want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.
It’s still the user’s responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I’m just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)
Ah, sorry yes! For those who want the html, it’s the details and summary tags!
The <details> HTML element creates a disclosure widget in which information is visible only when the widget is toggled into an "open" state.
Holy shit?? I didn’t know AO3 could do this. This is so useful!
Support for <details> was added about a year ago, and more people should definitely know about it!
I worked summer school this year, and I was with the older kids. I had fun, but I’m excited to be back in prek. Anyways. School starts back up soon, so here’s things said at summer school.
§
Teacher: Yesterday was Tuesday, and tomorrow will be Thursday!
Kid: That’s kinda weird.
§
Kid: *mumbling*
Me: What are you doing?
Kid: I am the Lorax I speak for the trees! *Continues mumbling*
§
Kid: And then the grandkids got roped in!
Me: Oh no! The grandkids got roped in? Then what happened?
Kid: It was the family business, and they went “you’re tearing this family apart!” And shoes held them all together!
Me: Oh, it’s Coco
§
Kid: Do you have a mom?
§
Kid: I’m already dead, what do you want from me?
§
Kid: *Playing with other kids* When you enter the town, you become dead, and I’m the mayor.
The kid was talking about The Nightmare Before Christmas.
§
Me: Okay, why are you stripping.
§
Kid: Let’s play Minecraft. You’re a witch.
Me: I’m a witch? Oh my god, how’d you know?
§
Kid: We’re going to California together, don’t tell your mom.
Me: Buddy, I’m an adult.
Kid: *Whispering* If your mom call you, don’t answer.
Me: Ominous.
§
Kid: *Basketball rolls away* Oh no! Help!
Para: You can do it yourself. Go get it.
Kid: I can’t, I’m dying! I’m tired!
Para: Then sit down.
Kid: *Goes after ball*
§
Kid: The bacon hit box is… I don’t like it!
§
Kid: I’m waiting for my bougie friend.
Me: Your bougie friend? There a reason you call them that or…?
Kid: There’s no reason, I just call them that. *Looks at me* You get it.
§
Kid: *Pushing door open*
Me: *Sternly* Step away from the door right now.
Kid: *Shocked* … You’re not my teacher!
Me: *Quietly* I am tho.
Para #1: I don’t think I’ve heard you use that voice before.
Me: I don’t use it very often. Partly because it makes it more effective by surprising them when the “nice teacher” sounds like that, and partly cause it makes me feel mean.
§
Kid: You’re a kid, right?
Me: No, I’m an adult.
Kid: You’re a kid.
Me: I’m 23 years old.
Kid: No, you’re just a kid.
Me: My drivers license says otherwise.
Kid: *Walks away*
§
Kid: How old are you?
Me: I’m 23.
Kid: But you’re shorter than me.
§
Kid: You’re not an adult.
Me: I’m 23.
Kid: *Walks away*

i love the idea that viggo's issue is that he's always overestimating the dragon riders and that's why he loses. other antagonists always underestimate them, they don't put in all the necessary precautions, which allows the riders to slip through, always throwing parties and gloating before the dragon is in the cage. but viggo?
my man takes so many precautions, his entire island is a war base, and yet, and YET the dragon riders got in by dyeing snotlout's hair blonde, giving him gucci boots and naming him sir ulgertorpe, SIR ULGERTORPE. viggo got catfished by snotlout with blonde hair. he's overestimating them so bad that the IDEA of them "just walking in" doesn't even come to mind. he's ready for fire and death to fall from the sky but a one-legged boy pulling a fast one on him breaks his fancy little english brain.
I come from ao3. I was completely engrossed with your story that I forgot to comment... Sorry but I will say my praise here. I really like how you wrote everything and I would love to see how Damian works to gain Tim's trust. Thank you for writing :)
Glad you liked it!
As for Tim and Damian, I'll add it to the list of things to write! I will say, it's a short list. Three things.
Also using your ask to say I finally added another part to the series! Duke finds out about ghosts. Enjoy!
Refraction - Heat Shimmer - random_alien_winn - Batman - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]
Tim Joins The Batfamily Early AU where Tim goes next door and just goes inside. He finds a room that looks like it’s not being used, puts his clothes in the drawers, and connects to the WiFi.
He stays out of the way for the most part but whenever anybody asks what he’s doing there, he says, “I live here now.”
And it works, every time. There is no follow-up questions. He’s either welcomed or left alone. It’s great.
It takes several weeks and more than one shared meal together before Bruce is like, wait a minute.
Tim's favorite bat siblings are Cass and Duke. The reason for this is simple: they're the only ones so far to not actively try to/actually kill him. Jason was trying to kill him over the fact he "replaced" the former (honestly felt more like dealing with a childish tantrum with the whole name calling of "pretender). Damian was trying to kill him over the logic how the "bloodborne son" was supposed to inherit the Robin position as the rightful heir (whatever that meant. like dude it's been 100+ years since the Victorian era where have you been living?).
It's bold for people to assume his favorite sibling is Dick. Don't get him wrong, he is and will always be (self-proclaimed) Dick Grayson's #1 fan and leader of the man's fan club. But he still hasn't forgotten the time when Dick popped his head back when the guy became vampire king.
Cass and Duke? Nope. Nada. They did nothing of sort. And it's great. Fantastic. A breath of fresh air. If anything happens to any of them, he'll take everyone down before himself.

Words to know in self-contained/severe needs preschool.
Para/Paraprofessional - Basically a teacher assistant. For the school I work in, there is currently three paras in each severe needs class.
OT/Occupational Therapist - I had to google the explanation for this. “… A branch of health care that helps people of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems” (Link with more info if you’re curious)
ST - Speech Therapist
AAC - Augmentative and Alternative Communication are ways for people to communicate nonverbally. Sign language, writing, core boards, talkers, etc, all are forms of AAC
Core Board - A type of AAC. A grid on a piece of paper with words and pictures to help communication. Core words are the most common words used in the English language. It is proven that use of core boards or other forms of speech aids do NOT harm speech or language development, and actually helps both. (I could make a whole post about this but I’ll leave it here for now). (Not linked to the one my school uses, I just looked up core board examples)
Talker - A tech form of AAC. Where core boards are limited in words, talkers can have thousands of words to begin with, and new buttons can be created if needed. As the name implies, it talks.
Blended Classroom - A classroom with mostly typically developing children. For the school I work at, there is a max of four kids with IEP’s per class of fifteen. Self contained classrooms have a max of eight children with much higher support needs. Children may be moved from one class type to another as time goes on.
IEP - Individualized education plan. These can be catered towards behavior, speech delays, developmental delays, or combinations of the three. I don’t know how to explain this one or how it’s different from a 504, but this article has a breakdown of both and links to explain used terms throughout the article.
Schools been back in session for several months now. You know what that means? More things said/done in self-contained prek.
To be completely honest I mainly make these for me

Me: That one says “no.”
Kid: Dis one?
Me: That one says “different.”
Kid: Dis one?
Me: You’re pointing at “no” again.
This continues for a little bit. They would point at a word, point at no, and point at a different one.
Me: Is “no” your favorite? You keep going back to it.
Kid: *Points at yes, immediately goes back to no*
§

§

§
Kid: It’s Ms. Nugget!

§

§
Kid: Playground!
Me: Bus.
Kid: Playground!
Me: Bus.
Kid: *Looks at me for a moment* Bus!
Me: *Holding back excitement* You got it, good job!
It seems so small but for this kid to suddenly understand that in that context the other word fit better? I’m still so proud of them you have no idea—
(I frequently tell all my kids I’m proud of them, they know)
