More in many cases. There are many types, some very specialized and not "just" what you perceive as a TA.

 

Doc, don't bother, you'll just ruin the fun he gets from demeaning others.

There's something to said about the slow stroke. :shifty:

 

I want a man with a slow hand

I want a lover with an easy touch

I want somebody who will spend some time

Not come and go in a heated rush

 

with apologies to the Pointer Sisters...  ;)

It's not demeaning to call someone what they are, a bleedin' assistant! There's no shame in that at all. I just believe in calling jobs what they are, not making up fanciful titles to make them sound better than they are.

 

I'm a computer programmer. Some call themselves software architects, some software engineers, some technology interface specialists; but at the end of the day, they are what they are... A simple computer programmer.

It's no that simplistic. They differ from teachers aides/assistants.

Teachers have a degree, often a Masters, and a teaching license.

Paraprofessionals have varying levels of training including vocational, an Associates or a Bacheloes depending on where they work. They too have to meet state criteria, and mobility is limited within specialties. Ex: special ed paras are a distinct group.

Teachers aides are pretty much untrained and uncertified.

My goodness, so instead of just being a computer programmer you're a "simple" computer programmer.  Sounds all highfalutin to me, but hey, to each their own, right?                                                                                                   /s

    • On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously
    • I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
    • The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).
    • Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
