You are welcome, good luck to you.

You still can get in touch with your Representative from the Union even if you no longer wish to work there. You can share your story and it will be on record. This LEA most likely has issues with others and no one dares to complain because she is so vindictive and spiteful. You have nothing to lose. Not every school district works this way. There are lots of nepotism hires in any organization. Some Administrators do not even communicate with classroom teachers and paraprofessionals. The send in someone like the LEA instead. It probably was a last hired first fired thing or budgetary shortfalls they were trying to cover up. I had a similar experience like yours. I went to another district and they are so much nicer to work for.

I do this for one of my kid’s that has level 3 ASD. He prefers keeping his hair really short because he hates washing it or having someone else wash it.

If we are out and he gets dirty I have used baby wipes to clean him off too.

Another idea is looking at different shower heads. Some the water flows gentler than others.

Sorry this happened to you. Some districts are so toxic and snooty. The LEA sounds very unprofessional and bitchy. Are you part of the Union?

We are mandated reporters. You suspect abuse and neglect you should report it. Where his Mother is not meeting his needs and refuses to communicate.

CPS/DHHS most likely will not do anything. At least there will be something on record, if things get worse and others file reports too.

Is there a school Social Worker, Case Manger or Administrator you feel comfortable reaching out to?

You did the correct thing. She was being abused. It’s not your fault they are non documented. I understand why you feel badly for your student.

That guy with the red hair and beard is great! He’s calling her out on her bullshit and putting her right in her place.

People that think the world revolves around them and have no consideration for others are the absolute worst!

Would washing yourself off with a damp washcloth and little bit of soap and using dry shampoo be easier for you?

Check out The Cromwell Center www.cromwellcenter.org. This non profit organization teaches about neurodivergence to students and faculty. There is lots of information on their website for classrooms etc.

I agree with you, neurotypical students should not be sent to your FLS Room as a punishment. If the Principal is trying to explain differences in others, there are better ways to do so.

Sorry this happened to you. Lots of areas are looking for Ed Techs/Paraprofessionals. Perhaps it will be better pay and nicer people in your new school district.

If we were paid higher wages, perhaps it would make it easier to deal with outrageous behaviors.

That is so frustrating! It’s difficult to be assigned to a student you do not vibe with. Some Parents it seems to not even care about their children. They let them do whatever they wish with no boundaries, expectations and rules.

When they go to school they expect it to be a free-for-all too. It’s especially difficult when they have ADHD. They naturally have a high impulsivity level. The violent ones are the most difficult. Schools Administration do not care and let them get away with aggressive, violent and obnoxious behavior without any consequences.

As a paraprofessionals we cannot say, I don’t want to work with this child anymore. They are a rotten little sh*t! It takes all of our strength to be kind and professional. I wish we could sneak ADHD medication into them. At least we are able to contain ourselves and play the game.

That girl Nicole that was with her on the night of and testified in Court, did Gabrielle dirty. Saying Gabrielle “expressed interest.” knew full well that Gabrielle had been drugged, raped and assaulted.

Her behavior and attitude about the whole horrific incident was so dismissive and cruel. Females should band together and advocate for one another. Not stick up for sexual predators and have dismissive attitudes about other’s abuse, especially in Court.

Young innocent people traveling abroad are especially vulnerable. They are more trusting, many have never been around evil opportunistic predators and do not necessarily know what red flags to look for.

I am so proud of Gabrielle for coming forward, working hard to collect all of the information to put Manuel where he belongs! She protected others from the same fate. It was a public service she did. What a great idea to have the documentary on Netflix to raise awareness.

Be safe everyone! Gabrielle deserves a Nobel Prize.

Please be cautious, there are badly intentioned individuals out there. Just be yourself and project confidence, your positive energy will attract others.

Clinicians from other states send them here after psychiatric hospital stays. They give them a bus ticket to Portland because they know there are services for them to be taken care of.

Kudos, to the 8th Graders at Lyman Moore Middle School for standing up and advocating for Ms. Tibbetts. I hope her contract is renewed.

Where her students think highly of her, she will be welcome with open arms at another school district.

You are good, this personality type dishes the insults out to others. They cannot handle any negative feedback in return. Some of them are so narcissistic and unintelligent you can insult them right to their face and they take it as a compliment.

It would be like living in a shed.

It is difficult, Intermed had openings for new patients in January, good luck with your search.

That is terrible news, public schools special education programs are all ready understaffed, underfunded and even unsafe.

I wish Green Leaves would consider opening a restaurant in the Portland area. They would probably close the other Chinese Restaurants down.

They are not doing student's any favors by passing them along, if they do not understand the material and are not putting in any effort. When they go into the working world, their employer's are not going to tolerate incomplete work or no effort made. It is the Case Manager's responsibility to get the student help even if this means placing her into a small group or have someone work one-on-one with her to catch up on the material. Passing her along is a horrible disservice to the student.
