I assume that is like an extra person....we usually call them paras or paraprofessionals. Every place calls them something different. But not in our district, we don't have them at all, except for in self-contained special education classrooms. We also don't have bus monitors either, which really bothers me because I have a hard time driving and keeping control of my vehicle at times with 2 in the seat....imagine busdrivers doing it by themselves, that is pretty irresponsible to me. Anyhow I do work in a school that has pre-k and K and they have paras in every classroom (and bus monitors)....and their classes are smaller as well. It's a great school but is also in a district with a lot of "needs improvement" schools.
