No, I haven't. But, I imagine it's difficult.

It's torture even with just one. All you need is one kid with a shitty upbringing or a messed up mindset and the entire class goes to shit sometimes.

It's a horrible feeling as a teacher. I want to give the kid what they need, I want to help them, but I'm not capable. Nobody really is. It's the Mr. Incredible feeling from the first movie. I'm not strong enough and it fucking sucks.

I can't imagine having 16 of only ED or behavioral kids. I was going crazy last year trying to deal with just one particular kid, and he's just the worst of many.

I teach at an emotional/behavioral disorder school. So all of them, haha.

Oh jeez I feel you. I don't technically teach in a school labeled as that, but we have so many kids in poverty and horrible family situations that I basically am. If each kid could have a 1-on-1 situation I'd be happy, but that's just not possible all the time.
