[quote=Anonymous][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]

I doubt we'll get that, but I'm curious, too. I've never heard of an elementary school in MCPS where the paraeducators don't accompany the students to specials. That's usually where they bring in more support when there's a class with multiple kids with behaviors.[/quote]
