Kinda a vent

being a para is one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had, when I moved to a new town I was so excited to get a job offer for a para position in the new city, when I get the job interview, they explained that it is not a paraprofessional position even though the online listing for the position said paraprofessional, I ended up taking the job, and now this upcoming school year I will be a co-teacher in a first grade classroom, I just want to know if any of you had had a similar experience with job listings?

Help with Dress code!!

I am a new Co-Teacher for a first grade class! I’m so excited for the school year, but I was recently told that I am not allowed to wear jeans. I was a Paraprofessional before this, and all I wore were jeans!! I just moved into a new apartment and I have no extra money to add to my wardrobe!! Does anyone know of any resources I can use or extremely cheap places I can go to get more appropriate clothes? I am not against thrifting at all! I just know thrifting can be expensive nowadays.

The allowance of throwing

I don’t know if i’m over stepping but i have a kid in my class, lets call him K, K sense i’ve known him throws everything he can get his hands on, and we try to take things away clear his space so that he doesn’t hurt any of the other students. Recently our OT told us that we have to let him throw things because it’s a sensory need and that we’re not allowed to take anything from him. he has hurt me and other paras and students. i genuinely don’t know what to do- thank goodness there is only 15 more days of school..
