Unfortunately, for various reasons, they're usually seen as more expendable, and in less of a position to resist than the professionals. But are you not a teacher?

I'm not. I'm an instructional aide. I work in a special ed classroom.

My newest is a Canadian military surplus in Black Watch. I posted comments and some pics in this thread.

Oh, nice! I hadn't seen the pics. looking very nice. I've thought of getting a 22 oz. but I'm on the short side, and don't think that I could get one which would work for me.

Both my parents are teachers. I'm trying to get my teaching degree in history. Don't even get me started on No Child Left behind... Talk about raping the school system... What MORON thought that piece of crap was a good idea?

Tell me about it! we're forcing mediocrity... we drag the "slower" kids along, kicking and screaming, without ever catching them up, and we hold the "bright" kids back, rather than encouraging them to use their brains... Standards-Based education is great.

I'm prone to agree but I do think it has a few (one? two?) benefits. At least now people care about the special ed students. My mom's been teaching Special Ed for 30 years at High School and now at the Elementary School level. Regardless of the level, she had a hard time getting collaborating teachers and others who had her students to take the special ed students seriously and to care about them. Now if the special ed student is struggling the schools pay attention at least, because they can't ust ignore them.
I'm not trying to justify the whole system or anything. Just hoping maybe you're experiencing this benefit too. Good luck and thanks for working with students others find too challenging to deal with!
