We’re going to need a special cunt tax at this rate just to pay people enough to manage shitty behaved kids.

Its a nightmare job. From the outside people think its admirable but what they dont see is all the extra stress and pressure that comes with it. The parents are usually 5x more difficult and demanding and nothing is ever an accident.

It’s a very hard job. They should be paid more than mainstream teachers for working with special needs kids (as someone who has special needs).

My mother before she retired worked at a special needs school, every day she’d come home with an injury, strangled, bruises, groped etc. If they are forced to go through that without any improvement, the LEAST they can be offered is more pay.

My missus works at a SEN school as a TA. I can honestly say i wouldn’t do her job for a 100k a year. Never mind the pittance she’s paid.

Why does it seem that everything ends in a strike at the moment? Why are unions otherwise so rubbish at negotiating?
It’s supposed to be a last resort… Not a right of passage for each negotiation, turning the country into a mess of abject misery.

I used to work in a SEND school. I constantly came home with bruised shins and bite marks on my arms. I even had bricks and rocks thrown at my head a couple of times, but luckily their aim was not great. I knew a teacher that ended up in A&E after being knocked out by a year 6 kid whose mum never said no to anything, which meant years of Macdonald’s and sweets had made him a mammoth of a child who had very little care for boundaries.
All children of all abilities can learn basic boundaries and consequences, but often parents are told by non-teaching entities this isn’t the case, and then as a teacher you can’t do shit.
