  The Limitations of Public Schools

  I've seen this first hand. A close friend and wonderful teacher in the Emotional & Behavioral Disabilities realm has to leave her program: because she is lower in seniority than another. This teacher is fabulous: I taught 6th grade in the room next door, and together we worked with three needy kids, including one with a recent diagnosis of Asperger's. Sad, but true, this seniority system has its drawbacks.
