[quote=Anonymous]Special ed para here. It's been a truly awful couple years at school. Tons of stress, exhaustion, burnout amongst the staff. Subs are rarely available, so everyone has to cover for each other during what would otherwise be time for planning, grading, IEP meetings, and replying to parents' questions. The kids are stressed and struggling, too, feeling it from all directions. They're wandering halls, fighting, and disrupting classes. We have so many kids misbehaving that we have a para slot regularly assigned to covering in-school suspensions. The culture warriors have schools in their crosshairs, trying to control how we can talk with students. And all we hear is how badly we're failing their kids. No one should be surprised staff is saying "F*** it!" and moving on. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Try supporting your schools even when it's not all sweetness and light. [/quote]
