educating eric
this has been my first year having special education students in my classroom since our school does not offer bilingual services. since i have a whopping nine students that qualify for various special ed services, this article definitely freaked me out... especially since i have a kid or two that walks that emotionally disturbed line. read it and forward to your friends:

Man! I will definitely send this on.
I used to teach at a SED school. (Severely emotionally disturbed) I left after 3 years because I could see that I was going to read about my Eric's sooner or later in the paper. Sure enough, 3 years ago one of my former students made local headlines when he was in a high speed police chase where he placed an officer in a coma (where he still lies today) The student then crashed the car and killed himself.
Now that I am in public school, I still have potential Eric's. These kids need help but the paperwork and hoops to jump through are so great that it is no wonder why these kids go to the extremes that they do.
