The only thing that is taking away the joy of learning in my classroom is the inclusion of emotionally disturbed, violent, and aggressive students. They take so much of my time and energy and all the other students lose, and lose a lot, every day. It is my job, according to administration, to motivate these students to learn and to help them to be happy and healthy. I’m not trained to do that. There is not enough in the budget to get the support staff that these children deserve and need, so they suffer, too.

Do they have IEPs?
There should be money to address their needs if the IEPs are written correctly.
Even if the district won’t cough up the money, the state has safety net funds.
Of course then the schools and the district need to submit carefully documented reports indicating where they need more funds and what they are already doing with the money.
