[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 266937, member: 1550"] Marg, I wouldn't feel like it was my place or interest to teach para how to behave. My kid would be out of there until they came up with another school district. And I'd call the right people (I've learned who they are) to get the squeaky wheel going. The para would be off my Christmas list and nobody associated with the school would be getting any presents this year...lol. I wouldn't tolerate that sort of abuse politely and I would want my kid to see that I was on his side in this. Adults can act wrongly too and this entire school is a joke. You don't have to have a lot of training, education or experience to be a para. My sister, who I don't think highly of on any level, is a para (as I've said). She has a college degree in Fashion Merchandising, which I'm sure helps her a lot. She makes a whopping $7/hour. For that, she is in charge of three to five kids a day while the Special Education teacher works with her favorite child and delegates her paras the other kids. She openly dislikes a few of the kids (sis told me), but puts on a good act when the parents come around and takes all the credit for any progress they make (again, so my sis says). I do believe most of what she has told me. This school sounds out to lunch. I've never seen a safe room in a school. And my child would never be allowed to be put in one for any reason. If they did this, I'd call it abuse and make them place him elsewhere, at a school that knew better how to handle children with my kid's particular needs. This para was just plain cruel and the "good" one sounds rotten to me too. My kids usually get good treatment at school because they don't want a piece of me and hub (hub can be worse without even lifting his voice. He is very calm and very threatening about who he will contact). We always try to play nice first, but NEVER when we think our child is being mistreated. Then the gloves are off and you lose.
