I can understand the insurance offer for teachers, but what about the social workers, counselors, probation officers and other agencies that work with these at-risk kids?
We should be offered the same incentive because we (I'm an in-home counselor)are at just as much risk when we go in and try to help these children and their families. The majority of the time, the FAMILIES of these kids expect the AGENCIES to "make things right" and in a short period of time. They want agencies to come in and clean up a TERRIBLE mess that has been developing over many years. It's like they believe that we have this magic potion or something to change these kids. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!!! Just to HEAR some of these youths TALK is amazing.
I work with these kids in the schools, homes, and I TRY to work with them in the community. I hate to say this, but many of these kids act as if they have no hope at all. It's as if they have no MOTIVATION.
Yes, SensativAF, this IS a sad situation.
