[quote=Anonymous]Paraprofessionals are essential but it depends on your school. Mine does not hire babysitters but assistant educators. They run small groups, take data, and give teachers another perspective in the classroom. The issue is when you are paid minimum wage or just a bit above and are not paid full time, you get a poor pool of candidates. Sure you can get a retired teacher, or a grad student but sometimes you get people who view it as simply a way to pay bills for now, not a career. And of course a classroom can be great with a 1 strong teacher but why would you not want your child to benefit from more support? I think every elementary classroom should have a paraprofessional.[/quote]
