She returned in January and we split the job with each other 3 days me 2 days her and the switched the next week. We finally got the class under control and they were able to work on their goals.

I won’t do the 3-5 special Ed class anymore because of the abuse I got . It got old real quick being cursed at, threatened and hit. All while trying to be calm and de- escalate the situation during meltdowns.
