[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are crying a lot. A sixth grade teacher at my school has been attacked by a student twice. An IA who is teaching a fifth grade class because there is no teacher tried to break up a fight and has bruises. She stayed home today. This can’t go on like this. Kids are not regulated and nobody is helping.[/quote]

+1. I’m a SPED IA assigned to a specific class. I’ve been pulled 75% of the days we’ve been in school to cover for at least half a day when there’s an absence. I’m a former teacher and also a former sub and this year has been out of control. The fights between students, self injurious behaviors, and disrespect and aggression directed toward staff is out of control. I’m hearing the same thing from friends who work in schools across the country, including in places that “did it right” and were mostly in person last year. I absolutely blame our admin for not taking teachers’ concerns seriously and also our central office for spending money on useless positions and presentations instead of investing in staff who are working in the trenches.[/quote]
