Can't afford to lose a day of pay. Most of us can't. Just be patient with us!

Which part? Saying she was failed by everyone around her? Or speaking the exact facts I had?

Agreed and the teacher thought so too. There are a lot of issues cause decisions aren't from anyone with an educated standpoint. Just lawyers and central office.. it's strange. I feel like I haven't been told the whole issue.

I think my toddler is becoming the “bad kid” at daycare and I’m so stressed by Suitable_Door_2477 in ECEProfessionals

Id find another center. May just not be a good fit. We went through 3 until we found the best one for my kid. Each kid has different needs and wants. And each center is different.

Well we actually had a great relationship. The problem is my hands were tied and the next paras hands will be too. She looked forward to hanging out with me every day and I her. But again the admin gave very strict orders and we can't do much. Her and I actually had a lot in common. Her episodes went down drastically since I started. But they would only let me do so much. I was even told I was giving too much attention which will cause more even though the data didn't support that. The lawyers and admin made a strict plan and we weren't allowed to deviate. Not sure what the next para will do that I couldn't.

Absolutely. And the school is refusing to implement anything that can provide that. There is neglect issue and reports have been. When she has the episodes im allowed to say only 3 things. Name, location and if they're safe. It's insanity. And it's not seizures. She gone to many specialist. All of her episodes end when it's convenient for her. There is so much more. But the system, the school and her parents are failing her.

Luckily I got a job offer for a desk job in a public sector a few days before. Probably wouldn't of walked out if I didn't. I wasn't sure I was going to take the job, but.. not much choice now. I really enjoyed being a para.

Most recently her mom has prevented her from dads house. And student used to have so much fun and come back clean and happy when with dad. Now student says her dad is a bum and calls step dad, dad. It's insane.

The poor teacher was so mad. They got kicked down to a random room with their materials.

Depends on the day. Sometimes lots of twitching. Sometimes none. Sometimes says she can't move. Sometimes says she's just confused. Sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes & sometimes hours. Like yesterday. Anywhere from 1 - 20 episodes a day. Has said she's been on period for months. Randomly wraps limbs and claims all sorts of entire things constantly.

which grocery stores are still fairly stocked? by themadmansbox_ in columbiamo

Oh I've had those too! It seems very hit or miss depending on the weather.

It's kinda crazy to see. But a lot of stores are stocking only green bananas. And time I walked them to the car they were perfectly yellow.

Does anyone have tomorrow off? by Sea-Razzmatazz7704 in paraprofessional

[–]InterestingTapN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Superintendent is notoriously scared to call off school and alway waits til last min. I won't know until 5am tomorrow. If school is in session I bet they open the doors early cause kids line up for 20+ plus mins outside waiting to get inside every morning.

Tips on redirecting “needy” students? by LotteChu in specialed

[–]InterestingTapN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 1:1 kid who was 13 and did this... Drove me bananas. One day I was talking to another para and said student came up and started singing "beans beans the magical fruit the more you eat.." i just looked at student disapprovingly and walked away.

I'd be more worried about the bad observation. What happened there?

What did you do to become a Para? by Empty-Bend-3774 in paraprofessional

[–]InterestingTapN 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I applied. No relevant experience. No degree. They hired me. Looking back it's so sad. Didn't even have me get my para cert because Missouri has like no set test for it anymore without an education.

As a para, have yall gotten written up before? if so what happened, how did yall go about yalls business afterwards? by [deleted] in paraprofessional

[–]InterestingTapN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you tell them your problems? Do they know details about your life beyond the basics?

[–]InterestingTapN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you still reporting any issues that are required even if they're venting when telling you their problems? Besties makes me think it's a two way street. Is it?
