[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised kids don't ever gang up on the troublemakers at recess and sort it out themselves.[/quote]

Because kids nowadays are generally kind and know the student probably has a neurodevelopmental disorder that they can’t control.[/quote]

It’s terrific that kids are growing up kind. But most people in prison probably also have neurodevelopmental disorders they can’t control. Regardless of who is causing physical harm and why, we have to be able to prevent it in our schools.[/quote]

In this case, that is partly why the para is there, yet they can’t stop all behaviors.[/quote]

A paraprofessional educator in FCPS has to meet the following requirements

[list]1. Be 18 years old, 21 is preferred but not required
2. Have a high school degree or a GED
3. Have 2 years work experience working with kids or 2 years of coursework in a related field
4. Complete training within 60 days of being hired focusing on individualized instruction and behavior management. [/list]

They are not specialists or specifically trained individuals who can help students. For the most part, they are there to try and help divert the child and that is about it. [/quote]

And, how is this "training" going to prevent these outbursts?  Prevent other kids being hurt?[/quote]
