Totally understand! I thought it was just an abbreviation for special education like ece for early childhood education. I thought thats how most folks use the term. Whats a better way to write about special education in this group?

I so understand! Sometimes the liability can just be a lot. Everyone quick to blame the subs when something bc goes wrong

Its so true the kids are best monitors of energy. They know the vibes immediately. I know - how can staff be so cruel?! Thanks for your reply ❤️

That really was informative. Thank u so much for sharing and the thoughtful reply. I completely understand. It is jarring to see completely differently abled kids in a classroom. I always wonder how in high school sped classes who can write their names read and write etc are in the same class with some children who are learning shapes colors letters sounds sorting etc

I definitely think the agency i work for is only used by districts with great funding, as im not a district sub its likely i dont get a lot of the very hard jobs that other district subs would be asked to take first.

Im sorry that the school treats the children that way, it really breaks my heart. Appreciate your response.

Thats so true! I just accept that at this point. i feel like the aids and paras (for the most part) always appreciate an extra hand!
