I am 19, I am a single mother I live with my parents ( I have little help from them) and work full time and go to school in the afternoons. I work at a school where I am incharge of taking care of a severly hanicaped child. I enjoyed this job at the begining but now I feel like the school taking advatage of me. Because I am new. I used to have to work with her all day-7 hr day and then they brought in a gal to help me take care of her. So we switch of jobs. I take care of her for 4 hours and then she takes care of her for 2. This helped me out alot. We do various activities and we have to accomplish certain goal with this child. This student has bad hygenie issues! I feel that she is not being cared for very well at home. When i expressed my concerns, they said was that we could take care of it, by that they meant I could take care of it. I am extremely stressed, I was hired to teach her and do clean daily functions through out the day not to be a mother! I already have enough stress!

yes I have been asked to bath her, brush her teeth, I feel that all of these things should be done at home. If I call in sick they get upset with me because there is no one to take care of her. I am at the point of quiting. I feel like they expect me to put my job before my family.

You should not do anything not explicity in your job description, unless the child gets messy while doing an activity with you in which case you clean them up. The parents need to hire an aide to help with the child's personal care/activities of daily living (ADL's), you need to be more insistent even if you have to call the department of children and families to report that the child is being neglected.

It sounds like you are doing things that are outside of your job description. The problem is that *someone* needs to take care of this child. Can you talk to the parents about the problems? If they don't respond, it might be that your options are to take care of the child yourself or else to contact Child Protective Services. That is probably considered child neglect. But be ready for more stress if you call CPS. The parents may get angry at you.

IT is not good to get stress out at work while you already have a lot of stress in life... my good friend told me similar story and she's a 1st grade teacher too... If you can't handle it, thenI would suggest that you change job because the school wouldn't take care of it for you...
But remember, all job is stress... you are pay to handle the stress and work task... Get better in handling them or they will handle you.

ok...think of approximately what you purely stated. permit's assume that the itemizing agnet exchange into enjoying video games and did what you declare...right here is what you have stated: a million. You made an grant above the record cost. 2. You declare the itemizing agent probably shared that cost with a skill customer, allowing the customer to put in a miles better grant than yours. the subject with your concept is this: a million. The itemizing agent did not konw what your "intense" grant could be. 2. If the itemizing agent exchange into fairly attempting to tear-off all and sundry...the agent could have come back to you and stated, "We purely have been given an grant in that beats yours by using X...do you % to place up yet another grant." because of the fact their objective is to get the optimal conceivable grant and the itemizing agent could in no way assume which you have already made your optimal and perfect grant. So no, you won't be able to coach that b/c it would not make elementary experience.

Sounds like you are getting taken advantage of. A teacher is not supposed to clean their students, handicapped or not.
