[QUOTE="cooljeff, post: 2844143, member: 994"] Yes, unfortunately I have. Too many times honestly. As you can imagine there are very few men that are special education teachers and even fewer that are elementary teachers. I'm also CPI certified which is training used to safely restrain a student being violent. There are specific steps that must be followed with any violent situation when it happens. We are required to first try to calm and talk then down. If that doesn't work, we are to call for back up and maintain a calm environment, remove all students and stimulation triggers, then remove anything that the child could use to hurt themselves. We must try to secure and block any means of escape other than the immediate surrounding. In all honesty even the therapeutic holds we can apply are required as a last resort. And then only to the extent that it keeps the child safe but doesn't hurt them. It's very stressful but it's part of the package when you sign up for the job. You just have to balance the good with the bad to make it worthwhile. I love what I do and the small daily successes make the occasional firestorm worth it.
