Warning: Irrational Rant Ahead

(rant)

In the public school setting there are the regular support people - librarians, nurses, custodians - and then there the extra support people - Special Ed teachers and specialists. No matter what kind of support person you are, it is only a title if you don't actually follow it up with action. If you do your job in a half-*&#ed kind of way and rely on the classroom teacher to either do your work or suffer the consequences (because WE are the ones on the line if things don't get done right) then you are NOT, in fact, being very supportive. And when you choose to be less than supportive at a time when the classroom teacher has TONS of paperwork to do (ie: report card time) you are not just being unsupportive, you are making serious enemies.
