Life in Special Education as a Teacher Aide can only be described as expect the unexpected.<\/p>\n
It is what happens everyday no day is ever the same.<\/p>\n
Kids with special needs, Autism, Down Syndrome and other multiple disabilities are one word unpredictable.<\/p>\n
Shoes will fly<\/p>\n
hair pulled<\/p>\n
punch<\/p>\n
kick<\/p>\n
spit<\/p>\n
bit<\/p>\n
groped<\/p>\n
you name it, it\u2019ll happen to you.<\/p>\n
There is absolutely nothing you can do about it \u00a0unless you leave.<\/p>\n
Some days life in a classroom is grand.<\/p>\n
Kids behave have their medications.<\/p>\n
Goals and data are at a reachable level.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get comfortable the next day<\/p>\n
chairs and tables will fly<\/p>\n
staff will be dodging them.<\/p>\n
The school has the local fire department and EMS on a speed dial<\/p>\n
because between children with seizure disorders and staff injuries you\u2019ll get used to the flashing light opportunities.<\/p>\n
You get holidays off with pay.<\/p>\n
Also great medical and dental benefits you will need.<\/p>\n
Welcome to Special Education<\/p>\n
where every day becomes a poem.<\/p>\n
