[quote=Anonymous]I hope that people can see the multiple teachers that have posted on this thread that are experiencing this same issue. The overwhelming majority of teachers (on this thread at least) have written about how they value connection and have a heart for their students - all students. We are trying to support our students as best as we can but the amount of needs does not come close to matching the amount of support needed. Many of our students who have not experienced “severe” trauma are in crisis (a combination from the pandemic, excessive technology that I believe is requiring our kids brains, social media, etc.), and we don’t have the resources and staff to handle these complex needs. We have several students at our school who have qualified for a one-on-one aide yet those positions remain infilled. We have numerous other students who are not “coded” who need constant co-regulation. I believe that most parents truly are doing the best they can but they are frustrated and need additional resources as well.

Adding more temp para positions, which come with low pay and no benefits. This, along with the understanding that regardless of professional ability level, MCPS continues to use the last hired/first fired, a policy that does little to inspire building a long-standing connection with the students, school, and community. Dr. McKnight, we need more permanent para positions and more resource staff available to help with the behavior and learning needs of our students! [/quote]
