so we had three people quit by day 1 in our classroom alone.
one person, i don't know why they quit.
the second stayed for 20 minutes of restraint training (the day before school opens) and then once she learned what restraint training meant, she quit on the spot.
the third managed to come in the first day, and worked with a low functioning but very compliant (never violent, never resistant) student for a few hours before she approached the principal and said "i can't work with these students." the principal told her then she didn't have a job at the school. so she quit, in tears.
the school refuses to replace all of those people lost, because an outside agency which assists us (we use their behaviorist and a few other staff) "count" as support in the classroom, even though the district isn't paying for them and their contracts do NOT say they have to work at our school. they're only doing it essentially out of pity and kindness, because without them our room would fall apart in a heartbeat.
oh, and our hours have been cut (by 2 per week) and we've lost a break (so now it's 45 minutes of unpaid break time a day, and that's all).
i'm obviously still seeking a better job, but there's nothing much out there. if anyone knows of one that can be done from home, for the love of god hook me up. if you know any in western mass, send them my way. the ship is sinking and this prudent rat wants to gtfo before it goes completely underwater.
at least my home life is satisfying D: and in 11 days we'll close on the house, and we can start moving out of here.

What a bloody horrorshow!
I'll tell you what's wrong with America today (hitches up suspenders)...the government won't fix anything until enough people die horribly and because they are cowed by the FOX propaganda machine...
cough-cough hock...ptui!
HOW ARE WALMARTS BY THE WAY THINK YOU COULD GET ME IN THE DOOR AT A BRANCH UP HERE OR SOMETHIN?
Doesn't Walmart recruit using nets on horseback?
No wait, this is the 21st Century...they send Borg Units out and assimilate unwary youth.
Costco was at the other end of the spectrum. Same extremely low prices, but pay and bennies were far and above Walmart's.
And I guess the other rumors come from people who are just sore 'cause they screwed up and got fired. :I
really all you gotta do is fill out the application online and then go to the store occasionally to check on it soon after, they're pretty good at hiring you and keeping you if you work hard. c:
a soul sucking trap.
That's tough and I feel you are saint to even work under those conditions.
Nothing changes until the damage becomes too great.
