I'm a special Ed high school teacher. I work with emotionally disturbed students. My students are the ones that get kicked out of other behavioral schools for fighting or attacking staff. I love my students but it's very stressful. I haven't made it through a whole year without a hospitalization or at least a break from work. I do want to be a special Ed teacher but I'd like to work with students who are less intense. Im thinking of taking a teacher's aide position instead. That was the he best job I ever had. It just didn't pay enough unfortunately.
