[quote=Anonymous]Nobody wants to be a teacher these days, let alone a special ed teacher. I taught elementary school in MCPS for about ten years and had no idea how much work being a special ed teacher was until I worked in a co-taught class. God bless SPED teachers - they are so undervalued and underpaid for the amount of work they do. I made the choice to leave the profession at 32 because we could swing it financially. The demands put on all educators is out of control at this point. You're never seen as good enough no matter how hard you work. There's only so much within our sphere of influence. We are expected to take fourth graders reading on a kindergarten level and get them on-grade level in nine months. When you don't, you're looked at as a failure. I won't even go into the range of snowplow or absentee parents who add to the stress. I love kids but I couldn't continue to support a broken system.[/quote]
