Excuse Me?! (The Life of a Special Ed. Teacher)

Teachers: we've all seen them out and about in society. When I was little I figured that their classrooms were like their own private little biospheres; I just didn't know where they slept. (I about fainted the first time I saw my teacher at a grocery store.)
OK, so maybe they are just like everybody else, but what about special education teachers? Surely they aren't normal...right?
