I wonder what kind of people get to occupy these jobs.
I'm working on a professional certification, and it seems that everyone in my class occupies a space like this. it's not entirely clear what they do, although there are a few sensitive and dedicated teachers in the mix. as in "people who actually teach" and not "support staff".
where I come from (red state) no school ever had support staff. not sure if for better or worse.
