[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an assistant in a MD school and I get paid hourly, no benefits, no retirement.  I've never heard of an assistant in regular ed classes except for one K assistant for all of the K classes.  All of the assistants at our school and others are assigned to one special needs student per their IEP.  I earn about $10K gross per year, not $25K.  I am a student at night so the job works well for me but who would want this job other than a student?  Nobody could afford to live on this money.  Even my friends who go to school with me won't take this job b/c it pays so little.  The best solution is to have parents volunteer as much as they can in the areas where help is needed- cafeteria, computer lab, art class or with special projects/class parties.  In our school, parents rarely want to volunteer in the classroom on a daily basis part K.  In K, it helps to have an extra person in during center time.[/quote]

We have assistants making at least $25K/year. They've been there forever, which doesn't say much actually.  But they're certainly not making $10K.  And they do receive benefits as supporting services.  [/quote]
