What gets me is that in my district, "special needs" teachers get more money.
I my building, the hearing impaired teacher (really nice guy too) has five
students ALL DAY!  I have 143.  He gets a few hundred more than I do per
year.  I teach in a magnet school.  Go figure.  (At least my district
has a magnet school,  my home town does not.)
