A friend who tried special ed (not politically correct, but that

like sophomore to senior age felons in training, and two of them had to
have two classroom assistants to make sure that they didn't try to rape
the teacher in question, and get out of control. Bouncers in the classroom.
The administration, which was the principal, counseling staff, and
others all told her not to take notes and to leave it to them.
this was in a district with multi million dollar homes and no issues
with money, just brains.
when two of them were failed, ultimately they were going to punt and try
to blame her. However she had kept an independent log of the entire
year, and all the incidents. Also had several lawyers who had dealt
with such that had helped her record what she needed and were available.
One of the few instances when the school didn't dump on her, but she
left teaching very very disillusioned.
My mother taught the "slow" class of second grade for years and had
nothing but satisfaction. Very sad it has come to this.

My god, what today's teachers have to
endure...
Low pay, and deliberate abuse from students, knowing that if the teacher
tries to restore order they will whine to their parents who will get
them fired
(or transferred if they're in the union) because their precious little
snowflake would never lie.
You can tell I was just talking to a middle-school teacher about this
the past few days.
