i still need a raise 

My dear reader, you may recall that I need a raise.

I'm sure you quite vividly remember an adventure or two with a young man with profound autism.

For your entertainment and amusement, the saga continues. . .

I copied and pasted this directly from the official school district incident report I am required to file. The form requests "Antecedents/Events preciptiating the crisis (include behaviors that lead to the restraint)". It describes how I spent my lunch hour.

So, what'd'ya do for lunch?

The Student walked to the bus to go home. When The Student saw that the bus monitor was a substitute and not his regular monitor, he became agitated and would not get on the bus. He attempted to run down the street away from the campus. When The Student's teacher Dr. Noyz, blocked his path, The Student responded by throwing a shoe that narrowly missed Dr. Noyz's head. The Student turned and ran back onto the school playground. He removed all his clothing and threw them at staff. Totally naked, he ran towards the fence that borders the playground and was attempting to go over or through the fence. When staff approached, he dropped to the ground, lying in mud and grass, grabbing handfuls and throwing them at staff. He gradually crawled away from the fence, swinging and kicking at staff. It began to rain. The school nurse as well as the assistant principal were notified of the situation and both came out to supervise for safety. The Student was offered several opportunities to stand up and walk and to put his clothing back on. He refused. Every offer was met with aggressive behavior, kicking and hitting. Attempts to cover him with a sheet were also met with aggressive behavior. The assistant prinicipal and the nurse concluded that The Student's health and safety were in jeopardy as he was lying naked in the rain. The decision was made to restrain him and safely transport him to the bus.

And it's only the first day back from the holiday break.
