[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been teaching more than half my life now. What is surprising to me is the severity of behaviors that are allowed to occur in classrooms. Kids who display dangerous behaviors, over and over, and teachers are just expected to deal with it. There are no TA's available or given to help without a special education diagnosis and that can literally take years, unless the parent pushes for it. It is also shocking to me that schools drag their feet in evaluating for special education. Even when I as a teacher have triple the amount of documentation of interventions and data that is typically required. [/quote] I took 5 years off and the behaviors are so much worse than I ever had to deal with before. There are now kids who have minimal supports who are way more violent than the kids i taught in center-based EBD programs. [/quote]
