• Feelings on students having your cellphone number?

  Use remind.com and connect through your school. It should automatically connect your admin, but if it doesn't, add them. Still have the convenience of texting and sending announcements, but no personal numbers are exchanged, it's school-affiliated and your admin is connected. CYA. Source: 11 months ago

• GV said my gif sent, but my phone didn’t receive it

• Are there any routine tasks you wish were automated?

  It sounds like remind.com and omella.com have made some routine tasks at bit easier. Are there others that you'd pay to automate? Source: over 1 year ago

• What tools do you use to do school-home communications at special education schools?

• I think I was groomed by my teacher

  For example, a male student of mine a couple years ago texted me (through remind.com - an archived and vetted messaging program used by schools) that his mom was in the hospital about 30 miles away (this was true).

• Why are file backups so slow on Windows 11?

  As per Apprehensive_Arm_754 answer below, https://freefilesync.org is the solution to my particular problem, since it allows all kind of simple rules and logic to apply, so I can make sure that the copy only happens in one direction, and only ever by file date etc. Much appreciated.

• Is it possible to sync Calibre configuration between Mac and Windows continuously?

  It was me, I'd probably play around with setting up shared folders of preferences and plug-ins and whatnot on something like dropbox or Google Drive. There are various folder sinking tools on both platforms such as free file sync on Windows. Since they are two completely different platforms, I don't know how interchangeable some of the preferences or plugins would be. I haven't used a Mac in a 100 years. Source: 7 months ago
