[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is probably documenting that she does something.

Her job, like every job, has to be justified.

I don't think it's an indication of a greater problem.[/quote]

OP here. I really don't think it is either...but her special ed teacher wants her to have one more hour of special ed A DAY so we can improve her classroom behaviors. One, I don't see how it will help that. Two, they aren't presenting a plan of what the hours will do/be used for. Finally, I'm worrying their expectations are somewhat unrealistic. Why would a child need an aide if they didn't sometimes need reminding here and there?

We go to a very small school with few special ed teachers. I'm starting to see that when problems arise they try what they know but are reluctant to try to bring in additional ideas/resources before resorting to the easiest solution. Interestingly, when I was volunteering there a few weeks ago I noticed the girl who shares an aide with her has the same special ed hours they are pushing her to have. I'm wondering if perhaps they are thinking it would be easier for them if the two kids were always in the same place at the same time. NOT an acceptable reason or one they have stated to me. It is just a hypothesis.[/quote]
