Pros
Health insurance
Pto
Helping children
Paid holidays and breaks off
If you have a degree I was told it's easy to become a teacher.
Cons
No training on what your doing, your just thrown in a room and expected to know what to do.
Worried because teacher and other aides do holds on children when they have behaviors, but you can get in trouble for doing it a certain way, but your not trained how to do it.
Being bitten, kicked, punched, shoved, items thrown at during behaviors.
Told there are 5 kids in a room, you get in there and there's 8 kids.
When one child has a behavior it escalated others to join.
Too much for 2 aides to handle.
Lack of communication in what's expected and needed.
Scared everyday working there
Having to run after kids that were fast when they eloped (called runners) I wasn't in shape for this job.
Great job if your going into police or security/detention center job because it's all behaviors.
