“It’s becoming increasingly difficult, unsafe, demanding, and very little regard for what we’re going through,” she said.She recalled one incident when she had to chase down and catch a student who ran off school property and was threatening to jump into traffic.
Cail has a son with autism and she understands many children need extra support, but said the heavy workload and low pay was not worth the stress. Of those 6,303 WCB claims, 787 – or about 12 per cent – were attributed to incidents of violence. And 189 of those cases were time loss claims, which means the injuries were severe enough to cause the worker to miss three or more days of work.
She said the Halifax Regional Centre for Education used to require that EPAs have non-violent crisis intervention training, but that requirement was abandoned. She also said all EPAs are offered verbal intervention training, and disengagement training is offered to specific EPAs “as needed.”But Cail said the verbal intervention training is “not the same” as the previous program, and she isn’t aware of any EPAs that have taken the training program since the requirement was dropped.“It’s become more of a business, and the people on the lower rungs are suffering. And the people on the lower rungs are the EPAs, and our kids, and the teachers.
Only if you're pushing woke agendas.
Changes to student behavior was caused by teachers.
Teaching is not a dangerous job. Pull your head out of your arse.
