[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they typically hire older 65yrs+ (e.g. grandparents) for paras position?[/quote] I seriously doubt it. Being a para is physically demanding, even when one is working only with the general ed population. We had an older para at my school who kept holding out on retiring, and they had to make a lot of physical allowances for her during her last few years, which put more demands on the other staff. Certainly, there are some very fit people who are 65+, but why would a school hire someone new who's already at high risk for illnesses and injury? [/quote] Because age discrimination is illegal. If someone can't physically do the job, regardless of age, that is one thing, but you can't say "you're older and you're more likely to get sick" -- that's illegal.[/quote]
