Your advice in post #18 was spot on. My impression of you as an educator is "gold star"!
This thread demonstrates what most of us in education know. That it doesn't matter what's in the job description, when it comes right down to it, when a kid or kids need to be supervised, the need is "now". No time to get someone from central office or personnel. "We", whether we be teachers or administrators or aides or counselors, just have to step in. As a principal, I had no training in sped, except on the technical aspects of how to conduct IEPs and such similar stuff, but sometimes I had to step in and cover. Even kids who are special needs are still kids that need to be supervised and, often, protected.
