In today's interview, we'll delve into the experiences of a teacher at a NonPublic School in California, that caters to special education students with emotional disturbances and behavioral challenges. We'll explore various topics including the scarcity of teachers, concerns about over diagnosing or misdiagnosing students, parental pressure to enroll children in special education for perceived benefits, managing extreme behaviors from students, dealing with parents in denial about their child's behavior, and grappling with compassion fatigue and secondhand trauma among teachers and assistants. We'll also address the challenges of handling fights and runaway students, the looming threat of lawsuits, the high turnover rate for educators, and the persistent issue of low funding at NonPublic Schools in California.
