San Diego schools are doing what Nevada does, and that's they hire aides instead of full-time, certified teachers with library endorsements (or MLS's) for these jobs.
Welcome to the "new, improved" public school system, just as dysfunctional as the old one.

And expect the Chicago model or the completely corrupt New York City model to become the standard of ALL school districts in the United States. The problem isn't really the teachers; it's the corrupt administrators in charge of a sick, twisted system, but of course the "reformers" don't care about the administrators for those are the very type of people they want running the schools--crooks with no accountability whatsoever:
Six months into the Obama administration, its stand on public education could not be clearer. Obama and his Secretary of Education Arne Duncan have bought the entire bipartisan set of anti-democratic and corporate friendly line that “failing” public schools are problems best solved by firing tens of thousands of perfectly competent and experienced teachers, and reorganizing them as charter and other institutions in which organized parents and teachers have no say whatsoever. The education policies of America's First Black President Obama's education policies are not discernibly different from those of his Republican predecessor.
Despite the unpopularity of school privatizations and the wholesale replacement of public schools with charters wherever this has been tried, the administration of the First Black President seems able to push the corporate line on privatizing education almost without significant public challenge from large sectors of black and progressive America, including what remains of traditional civil rights-style organizations and teachers unions.
Get rid of the experienced, generally older teachers for cost-cutting reasons, and replace them with cheapo bimbos, who will last only a few years, certainly before they can reach vesting in retirement.
