It depends, of course, on who the kids are and what support you get from the administration. When you have a child whose own father agrees that he can't be left alone but needs full time individual attention, when the father can't let him go to the bathroom alone at home, when the child is apparently incapable of staying on task, but when the school mainstreams the child anyhow and gives the teacher no clasroom support, and when you have 60% of your children from broken homes and 65% from low income households (on free lunch) and only 7 parents who care enough about the school to come to curriculum night and . . . well, it makes a difference, as I'm sure you know.

But still, knowing how to manage the behavior of that many children and still teach them effectively is not a common skill. And, IMO, seriously undercompensated.
