I'm done getting paid 1/3 of the class teacher pay and expected to teach the lessons. The other Paras in the class seem to think this is normal. I certainly don't get the same respect as the teacher. Am I alone here?

You’re not alone. I work for a private school and they don’t hire teacher subs. Assistants are expected to sub for teachers for zero compensation. We are told all the time that die to licensure, we cannot teach new material. Haha. Sure. Happens ALL the time.

Definitely not alone. When I was working at a Preschool for several years, I was doing all the work with the kids, while the teacher was at her desk or on the phone. Yet, we aren’t supposed to be at the IEP’s, even though we know more of what goes on with the students. When working at middle & high school, it’s different. We are not at all welcomed in the classroom with the student(s) we were assigned to work with & definitely treated poorly. Not utilized, treated like we don’t know anything, & unappreciated when we offer to help in various ways. Some classes I stand up the whole period because the teacher doesn’t even provide a chair for staff to sit in. Almost everyday I go the whole day without one person saying “Hi” to me. It’s makes me feel worthless & it’s annoying that people can’t respect others.

So I have family situation I've been dealing with and yesterday at a company function outside the office, my supervisor brought it up in front of a bunch of people. First of all highly inappropriate, but also it's nobody's business. She's made comments before outside of work about how her boss is gay, blah blah blah. I'm just at a loss. Should I report it to HR? And if I do, how do I do it without it being known that it came from me??

Joined in Oct for SAP functional. Now one manager who interviewed me reached out that there is a training material developer project which will start on 20 nov for Oracle timeline is 2 months only and SAP projects are in pipeline there was one coming but no guarantee if its final and if it has to come it will be in this month because in dec new projects do not onboard. I have worked on oracle in the past but now am fully into SAP. Should I take this project or wait until Jan for SAP project?

I had the first round with a consulting firm and it takes them more than a month to arrange the final round and the recruiter is not being responsive. Is that normal?

Hello anyone still post here?

Good morning. This is my 20th year as a AA Para. I have missed my students so much! However, I am a little nervous to return. I know I will protect myself, and I already constantly clean, but my k-3 babies will not wear a mask. I usually get a really bad cold at beginning of school year because of new germs. Anyone else a little nervous? Any suggestions?

Going back to in-person learning has been quite a challenge. We have 4 in-person and 8 virtual. The 4 in-person have done as well as to be expected, however their behaviors have been less than desired. One is being considered for going back to virtual due to behaviors. It's next to impossible to expect them to keep masks on and when they do, they're usually nasty or wet. I have PPEs but things do happen in the spur of the moment and it's hard to stop and put on gloves and such.

Hello! I am 1:1 ParaPro for a 7th grader. We’ve been together for 6 years now. Any other 1:1?
