[quote=Anonymous]There is no way you would know how many kids in a class an aide was covering *unless you were a teacher who had seen a child's IEP*. There are children with IEPs who need 1:1 support sometimes or in certain situations. A child could have ADHD or emotional problems or health problems that you don't know about and the aide could be there to help several children as needed. My last K class (2 years ago), I had 30 kids. One had Downs and needed a lot of help with daily acitivities (was not toilet trained, could not feed himself). The aide seemed like she was just for him but there were also 3 other children with IEPs in that class who she was "covering". One of these children needed a lot of support and ended up transferring to a special school. The aide was stretched very thin. This is just one example. [/quote]
