Special Ed para abusive to the kids?
in my real world class(learn about cooking,money,etc.) i was in the group with the mentally handicapped, cause i’m new and they haven’t figured everything out, the teacher wouldn’t let us do an easy paper that we were SUPPOSED to do, and when we got to making our project she would tell us to do one thing, just to tell us to go do something else, what were we doing, why are you standing, you haven’t done this yet, this still needs to be done, and this, its not going to work.When you are working, she yells at you, as all the other kids are having fun. When you aren’t working shes yelling at you. all in this raising bloodpressure voice. this was in like a half hour period, and i just wonder how is she not fired? she is also the person who watches people in detention.
ugh, stupid me, i always thought paras were supposed to help!
I really want to report this @!#&
The saddest thing I saw once while I was a high school student, 14 years ago. There was a student in a wheelchair sleeping, and left alone in a dark room. I felt so sad for the student not being supervised by anyone.

This is common in schools. Have your parents to report her, schools NEVER listen to the students. Write down EVERYTHING she has done and said, send a copy of this to principal and superindent, asking what is going to be done. Teachers rarely get fired , thanks to teachers union.

Well, it’s not common in all schools, but the fact that it happens at all is appalling. I would report her. Ask your mom to call the program coordinator or director of special education and report the issue. You should not have to tolerate that type of behavior.

You said this was a paraprofessional? I am just wondering where the teacher was during all this. First, tell your parents what is happening. Explain it thoroughly, then have your parents talk with the school principal. This kind of behavior is not accepted in any school, especially where I work. The principal will probably set up a meeting with the paraprofessional, and speak with her. Another suggestion would be to speak to the Special Education supervisor if your parents don’t wish to contact the principal on this matter. It is extremely important to practice patience and understanding in school, but especially in this department. I am sorry this happened to you. Believe me, it is not a common occurrence.
