[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I'm a "let the whole system burn" teacher.  I don't care what happens to it anymore.  Truly.  3 years and I'm done.  I truly believe there's going to be a whole meltdown, there'll be entire schools that have to close and or class sizes in the 40's or 50's, and eventually special ed will have to be taken over through private insurance.  But again, I don't care anymore.  This system has chewed me up and spit me out.  Let it burn.[/quote]

There's a small group of posters that get hard at the thought of getting children with special needs out of public schools so that they and their kids won't have to see them anymore.

Keep it in your pants. It isn't going to happen.[/quote]

That wasn’t the PP’s point AT ALL. She’s an overworked, mistreated, burned-out teacher at the end of her rope. My guess is she just put in 3 miserable years the likes of which you can’t imagine, trying to put out many fires simultaneously and seeing very few results (and being disrespected for her efforts). She works in a system designed to fail, and she the one keeping it together through late nights and exhausting days.

This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with trying to get students with special needs out of schools. Stop assuming the worst and accept that teachers are burning out as they try to make something with nothing for your children. The only correct thing to say is “thank you for your 3 years and I’m sorry.”[/quote]
