Скачать или смотреть I QUIT Teaching Special Ed: Dangerous Students, NO CONSEQUENCES, Unrealistic Expectations & NO HELP!

Special Education is DANGEROUS for teachers and students, and teachers are finally speaking out and quitting!

In this powerful episode, we share Elaine’s heartbreaking and courageous story! She is a certified special education teacher (and a mom of an autistic son) who endured daily violence, emotional trauma, and systemic failure while trying to serve students with complex needs. From being punched in the face and threatened with weapons, to being told by a student’s father that “he doesn’t respect women anyway,” Elaine’s experience reveals the dark, often unspoken realities that many special education teachers face behind closed classroom doors. Despite following all the district-mandated PBIS strategies, Elaine received no support from administration, no accountability from parents, and no real tools to protect herself or others. The students who repeatedly threatened and attacked her were rewarded instead of disciplined, and it seemed like no one cared!

🧠 This episode dives into the mental health crisis among teachers, the dangerous behaviors many are forced to endure, and the emotional toll of being scapegoated in a broken education system.

Elaine’s story is not an isolated case. It’s happening across the country, and it’s time we start talking about it.

🎙 In this interview, we cover:

The reality of working with violent students

The lack of support from school leadership

Why so many teachers are quitting

How trauma in the classroom is ignored—and even normalized

The toll on teacher mental health and self-worth

How Elaine found healing through storytelling and advocacy

📚 Elaine wrote a fictionalized memoir, “Sometimes All We Need Is a Quiet Corner”, based on her true experiences in the classroom. It’s raw, real, and a beacon of hope for any teacher who feels like they’re barely hanging on.
