I had never heard of them until I moved here, and I see no reason for them.
When I was at KSU going to be a teacher was the first I'd heard of them. I had classes with several that were going to be teachers. They described their jobs as teacher's helpers, basically. IDK, as I never saw one in action. I would remoce para-pros and add special ed classes. Special ed with two or three teachers, depending on the class size.unionmom said:Doesn't matter ...

I tend to agree with you with when it comes to the ones in the kindergarten classes. Since I have no direct experience with the other ones in the school, I'm not comfortable making a call on the others. I gather we do have some students that really do need the direct assistance through the day. Since we apparently refuse to allow special ed classes to address the special needs of some of our students in a better atmosphere it leaves us with a need for the parapros for these students.
