How do you address wanting to fix the laws that protect the special education student but not the staff?

You may have to approach it from the stance of providing suggestions with data that backs up changes you would like to see while still preserving the protection of the students under the law while including supports for us who are not as protected.

Advocate to your local state legislatures. That would be a good place to start. Also, speak to your school committee members to see if they'd be willing to fight alongside you.

Thank you. That is where I'll start. I spoke with my principal. Got no where. And then the assistant superintendent. He forwarded my concerns to the Special Education Director who sat me down today and told me that basically there isn't anything they can do because he is a sped student.

What does staff need to be protected from?

Lol we need to be protected from the aggression of some sped students. Yesterday I’m my class a student took off her shoe( in 5th) and hit me in the face with it!!! I was shocked but what can you do!? The parents don’t see a prob! ??

Contact the people in your local offices that makes the laws. Advocate for yourself

Thanks for the info!!!!

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
