Boss cut my hours to 2 days a week after review—is this normal or a sign they want me gone?

So I was working in a classroom with students in the Autism Spectrum. I worked with kindergarten through 2nd graders. I did struggle in there with overstimulation and was overwhelmed sometimes but I still showed up, did my best and always was there for those students. I am appreciated of what I do just like other employees. The thing is when I went to go for my review for the school year, my boss knew that I was overwhelmed, and handed me a contract with only two days a week work. I mean it is a great opportunity to be a music teacher and arts assistant for two days a week is but it’s not enough for me because I have bills I need to pay and plus I’m going to a University taking classes online so I need to pay for that to (Got grand and scholarships). I mean I’ve been working full-time and do classes, and I still do it. I know that my boss said it’ll be great because I will have more time in doing my classes so I won’t be so overwhelmed and I work two days a week, but the thing is that’s not gonna be enough when I pay bills and I need to work full-time. I don’t know if they’re really looking at my well-being, or finding an easy way to let me go. Plus, I’m on the autism spectrum myself.
Oh so I’m going to my pops about it and then he said he thinks that’s the easy way for them to let me go that’s bullshit. Why would they cut my hours like that?
On top of that I never got para of the month and even some paraprofessional that has been there less than me have gotten it. They do teacher and paraprofessional of the month which is pretty useless. I’m just going to find something else. My dad thinks I’m probably being the least paid and I believe it.
