[QUOTE="ksm, post: 680185, member: 12511"] I worked several months in an early education program and about half the students (age 3 to 5) had special needs. I gave my notice after one boy would put his hands down my blouse and laugh, try to pull little girls pants down, bite other students, spit on people and run away from us, in the classroom and on the playground. We were told we could not restrain him, nor pick him up and carry him. We even had a a padded closet for him to "calm down" in. I had to hold one of those gym floor pads in front of me to protect myself from him trying to scratch, kick and bite my ankles. Or he would push and shove the pad I was holding. I quit before I did something stupid that I might get In trouble for. Once he did get my elbow in his face, as he snuck up behind me and tried to bite the back of my upper arm. It was a reflex from pain and connected with his nose. I gave my notice that day...at least I had witnesses that it wasn't anything more than a protective reflex, but when I felt an odd satisfaction, I knew I needed to leave that job. I don't have the temperament to be anyone's punching bag... Even if they are 5. KSM [/QUOTE]
