Hooked up with a guy I really like in Montreal, too bad I live in the States :(

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Will getting a low tier rating also affect your career when you are switching companies?

I’m in SF but nervous to officially come out to my friends even though I’m sure they all know/assume anyway. :(

Anybody else out there getting a boatload of emails, but none of them pertain to you? All of the emails are geared towards returning teachers and the only thin the paras know is our start date.

What are your summer plans?

Hello, I am Tia and I am a paraprofessional at a high school in VA. Ive been a paraeducator for 5 years

I want to say I love working at my school, but I'm a little frustrated. Yesterday was bus driver appreciation and the teachers went outside after school to hold signs for them, amazing right? Today is secretaries day and they posted signs all over the office for them, I find that 100% fantastic! The problem I have is that paras and janitors we're barely acknowledged. Our sunshine said something to us a days after para appreciation day and my team, sped and grade team, both acknowledged us...

Hello :) If your county is returning with ONLINE ONLY, have you been told your roll, or even IF you have a job to start? We are a week out and the support staff has zero information on the return plan pertaining to us.

So...seems like shut downs are headed our ways. Why are schools requiring us to come in? I worked for multiple teachers last shut down, and honestly went above and beyond any other para in our building. I have three kids ages 8-11. This will put me under a tremendous hardship if I have to go to work everyday and find a sitter. Not to mention- when I brought this to my principals attention he said I might have to take Covid leave. Covid leave only lasts so long- correct? The. What do I do?

I am on the verge of getting my certification to become a special education teacher, cold someone tell help me find a place that can help with my resume

Do you ever consider becoming a teacher? If you didn’t have a job as paraprofessional what job would you do?

A paraprofessional's job is more than just waiting for instructions for the teacher. What would you do if they were yours? It's common sense!

I have been on a doctors leave. I have used all of my sick day and FMLA. My school said I have to resign if doctor doesn’t release me after my appointment 5/12 my doctor wrote a lettter that said I can not go back to work and will be reevaluated Aug 15. Can tjey make me resign?

Does your school have a summer accelerated program? If so, how much does paras get paid?

Anyone else's district distance learning? How are you feeling about it?

I just wanted to say good morning and this is my first time on Fish Bowl.

I have been in my position for 27 years and have never seen such a state of affairs as I have this year (but then, with the pandemic, who has, right?) Well, long story short, we've gone hybrid (some in person, some online). The teacher has been out with surgeries and covid. I have been teaching both groups at the same time. Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?

For my curiosity, how much are you paid? Do you feel as though it is an appropriate amount for our job?
Me:
PK Para, $1,200/m, no breaks, 22 students(our school breaks down yearly check to pay summer)

Hello, my name is Judith. I have been a paraprofessional for 41 years with Duluth Public Schools. I am also the Chairperson for our bargain ing unit

I love my job and have been doing it for years. My Principal is good to me as well! The problem is...the Paraprofessionals at my school are never recognized. You have Teachers Day, Secretaries Day, Principal's Day, etc. Paraprofessional Day comes and goes at my school every year with nothing mentioned to us. Paraprofessionals in my department (Sped) wear many hats on certain days and work extremely hard (mentally/physical)! Does anyone else get this treatment?

Happy Teacher's and STAFF appreciation week!!! You matter!!!! Have a great week!!! Blessings and LOVE!!!

I had surgery 3 weeks ago, almost 4 and the doctor has released me to go back to work sinc either was a work injury. I definitely don't feel ready and feel my knee isn't good enough for the stairs.

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?
