There are clearly some cases where mainstreaming into regular classrooms with a parapro to guard the student from hurting others or bring bullied goaded onto snapping and acting out doesn’t work. Some people don’t belong in a job with these parameters. Sad all around.
Most the the people these schools are hiring as paraprofessionals are just some schmuck off the street and paying them min. wage. MacDonalds probably pays more in most states.
