Yep, this.  I have a small early primary class of 18 kids.  But, 5 have major behaviors.  3 are on specific behavior plans.  The social worker is in my room every day.  I have tons of support because without it, physical safety would be a concern.  I'm worried any day I have to be out because who knows what will happen.  If I'm out, I leave a set of general plans and specific plans.  The general plans have things like "how to work the smart board" "where certain things are" along with the names and issues of the 5 kids, what the sub has to do to implement the behavior plan and who/how to call in case of an emergency.  I also explain where the evacuation bag is so the sub has something to work with should she find herself in the hall or a different classroom for 60-180 minutes [b]until one of my 5 calms down enough that we can all return to the classroom.  No one is going to take that job[/b] if they know all this ahead of time.  And yes, I deserve a bonus for not quitting this year.[/quote]
I find the bold part to be the saddest and speaks volumes of what's wrong with our current approaches to overall behavior issues regardless of if SN/IEPs are involved or not. A go-bag for a classroom teacher for [i]that[/i] reason is beyond the pale, in my opinion.

[i]You[/i][/b] shouldn't have to do/take that job either.[/quote]
