A Teacher Supply Problem ---
Special education is a VERY tough business, no doubt. The attrition rate 3 years ago when I last saw the figures was a 50% turn-around within 5 years. Less than 3 years in some areas such as teaching those with emotional behavior disorders and those serving children with severe disabilities. And NCLB has probably increased those figures considerably. At this point, school districts are happy with any warm body, let alone someone who is reasonably competent and experienced. posted by Dick on a blog

I'm an ESE teacher. Have been for 20 years--can't take it anymore--not the kids--the paperwork and lack of support from both parents and administration. Teachers are in an impossible situation-- we speak with administrators about the huge classes, etc, etc, etc---they don't listen to us--they listen to you! Get involved! Speak up --we and your kids need you to be heard!!!!!
If I were to speak up, what would I say and who would I say it to?
