[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 707504, member: 4040"] It sounds like the district has little accountability for the aides, and they only have to be present, the "warm body in the room" thing. I've seen some schools with awesome programs, one-on-one aides that are really into working with their assigned child, and then I've seen some that do a lot of nothing. Somewhere there should be a specific job description, written out, that has the duties and responsibilities of the position. That might be your first step, to see if there are any standards of behavior that aides are held to, and then to see exactly what the job is supposed to entail. Unfortunately, the district may not really care what the aides do or don't do, as long as they can show they have X number of aides for X number of children for X amount of time, meeting whatever state guidelines they have.
