My wife every year gets at least one, often two, students in her class that she realizes shortly after school begins, need "special services."
It is a mammoth effort to try to get these kids classified so as to begin receiving help.
Yet she still goes through all that effort for the money, despite all those obstacles. Hmmmm...

Believe me, "phil", she gets the same low pay no matter what.

No, she goes through it because (1) the kids need the help, and (2) she needs the help so that she can spend more time teaching her other children.

Teachers make a great salary for the hours they put in.
