It should be against policy to be 1:1 for the student over two years
I’m fortunate enough to be working in a co-op so there’s plenty of staff to cover staffing needs for our multi 1:1 students. I had been 1:1 for this amazing student- I enjoyed working with the student a lot, however the student can be a lot, such as physical aggression, eloping, so on for two years. I’m just so burnout and I just need switch; and the student needs to work with someone new because became SO dependent on me so I made a request to work in different classroom for next year and the class list came our last week. My boss placed me with the same student again! I was upset so I sent her the email, being reasonable and explaining why I need to switch. Got reply back because of short staffing next year. My request was denied which that’s complete bullshit. They could’ve easily swapped other classroom’s para with me. I’m second in seniority at my work. The student was hard but I learned, why can’t other TA learn? Why it’s all on me??? It’s totally unhealthy and unfair. It shouldn’t be okay to be working with same kid more than 2 years.
