[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the chart, you will be making about $19 per hour. Because you are not full time,[u] probably no benefits or leave[/u].[/quote]

Why do people comment on things they don't know about?? Permanent paras (v. temporary) get benefits if they work 20 hours per week or more AND receive leave and benefits.

OP, you'll make $18.97 per hour starting. Paras will be paid for 197 days next school year (see the Work Schedule for that information).

Those of us who choose to be paras over working retail do it in part because we love to help children learn and become more confident in their abilities. I have no desire to work in retail and deal with complaining adults every day; I love the energy in a school and knowing that I am making a difference in children's lives.

Best of luck, OP!

+1 - this PP is spot on, OP. If the job listing says TPT, that means no benefits (TPT = temporary part time) and you won't be paid for any snow days or any holidays. I started out in MCPS in a TPT position to get my foot in the door. If it's a permanent position of at least 4 hours per day, you're eligible for full benefits immediately.

I have a kid with special needs and being in a part-time job that is also roughly on their school schedule is a huge help for our family - so while it isn't the highest pay, it has flexibility that I value a lot. I also really enjoy working with kids but very much do not want to be a classroom teacher so this is a great fit for me. [/quote]
