[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So MCPS pads Central Office with extra staff and is making up for it by hiring paras as TPT.  Same job, but hourly, no benefits.  How is this legal?[/quote]

MCPS used to hire Special Educators to work with students. Then they changed to Paras. The difference is a highly qualified teacher or just a warm body. Difference is night and day. The change was based on funding, not the needs of students with disabilities.[/quote]

Warm bodies....okay.  I was going to say you sound like an idiot but that would be rude so I'll just say you seem to be severely misinformed.  While every single para may not be fantastic I'd like to see you do that job for one day, you might have a different opinion of paras.  There are funding issues, obviously, but the majority of special ed paras are very dedicated and pretty competent.  It may be harder to find quality employees right now (as in so many jobs) but "warm bodies" is quite insulting to most paras.[/quote]
