[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is going to improve with the special education teacher and para shortage until something is done about salaries. As someone earlier posted, compensation is a joke for paras. Even with the benefits, its not worth it for a lot of people. The work is hard and they are at the bottom of the totem pole in schools. Most likely you are going to get poorly educated people but occasionally you get lucky and get a college educated former SAHM or dad who isn't dependent on the pay and may just want benefits for a spouse who is self-employed.

As for special education teachers, it's absurd that they are not paid at a higher rate than general ed teachers. They have an especially hard job. No wonder so many leave after a few years. [/quote]

The job is hard because MCPS keeps increasing the class sizes each teacher is required to teach. There’s too many students on each teacher’s case load. The teachers are stretched thin and the individualized education that students with disabilities need can’t exist.

MCPS Central Office just promises extra resources that never are delivered. Students don’t achieve their goals and objectives but no one in school administration cares. [/quote]
