It's sad that a lot of kids with special needs are mistreated! It's nice to know their are nice people out their who care.
My experience as a para in Spokane. 1 teacher was awesome. The rest treated paras like dirt. No matter your experience or education. Now I am in a small school in Idaho. Wonderful staff and support. It makes all the difference.
We're truly sorry you had that experience in our district, Connie. Glad to hear you're doing well in your new school. Paras are a vital part of our educational system, and we appreciate your ongoing work!
@@spokaneschools you need to improve your atmosphere concerning paras. I am sure there is more than 1 good teacher. However, there is that overall attitude of teachers being just more important. They are paid more than double what paras are. I have a degree from Gonzaga and an ESL certification and years of experience working with kids with behavior issues. We as paras need respect. Now my pay is not that great but the staff and atmosphere is amazing. It makes all the difference.
I've had the same experience not in Spokane, but I just quit my job being a para because the teacher treated me like garbage and was incredibly unprofessional
Other teachers make me cry more than the kids. Cause some of them think less of me just as a TA. I am glad I get to work with a great teacher and great students.
All of you ladies are wonderful at what you do. Thank you so much for the hard work you put in! By the way, those shirts are awesome!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm just starting at this myself
No two days are the same! Exactly my experience in a SpEd class
Good work, I'm special education teacher from India
Congratulations for serving children and families.
I have two paraprofessionals in my class I love them and one who is a registered nurse saved my life when I passed out
Great field. But you must be a calm and patient personality to work with small children.
my great aunt Tracy is a paraprofessional aide in Texas.
Our first teacher always included her paras, current teacher that up and quit yesterday didn't even want us to talk to kids that we had a great repoire with for several years. Some teachers are amazing, some need 100 percent control, its a sad situation.
Where did you get the shirt? I would love one.
Thank you
I’m hoping to become one in a couple of years
I live in NYS, while we are compensated pretty decently. Para’s for the most part especially para’s of color are treated like dirt. I wouldn’t recommend this profession for anyone, except someone coming out of jail looking to rehabilitate their life.
I have to come here
Hi I'm just a old friend I'm 42 years old I was in special ed at 3 but I guess they thought I did so well they decided to put me right into regular classrooms as soon as 1st grade it's great and all I know is by 1st set of friends who were the best set of friends I've ever had and there are little special needs kids just like these kids in the video say oh thank you Most definitely to the parents for letting these children be in this video on CZcams I should be phrased up my 1st set of friends Had abilities not disabilities because they were the most we were the most vulnerable of all and we're not in but innocent at the time still I innocent I'm just ready to find out why I'm going through what I did when I had to go to😇😝 school at 3 years old for physical disabilities and it's hard but at least these kids are gonna have at least lightly flung friends Thank you ❤️ 😍 💖
