[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is wild. I am an elementary school
arts teacher who teaches everyone in the school, including kids with autism and nonverbal. I would 100% never kick a child. But I would 100% definitely have a Diet Pepsi on my desk after lunch. I think parents have an unrealistic sense of what a school looks like.[/quote]

As an arts teacher, you might not be seeing the most challenging situations. I know at my kids' school, paraeducators often float to students during specials. You have a very different environment than the home room.[/quote]

At our elementary, all kids of all ages are dropped off at their specials — no teacher, no para. So kids with autism, developmental delays, ODD, and more. No adult stays with them other than the art/music/PE teacher. My job would be so much easier with another adult in the room. [/quote]

That sounds like a disaster unless your school aggressively seeks alternative placements.

Where do the 1:1s go during that time? Surely some kids must have 1:1s in your school.[/quote]

Would love to know the name of that school.[/quote]
