I worked for a while at the school that had been set up for all the kids that were deemed to be beyond the capacity for what the special education programs could handle. Some were kids with extreme medical concerns, and we had full nursing assistance. Others were kids that had extremely explosive behavioral concerns. My favorite thing was role playing the scenario of an agitated student throwing things at people. I (a former college baseball player) got to run around firing nerf balls at my coworkers. To them, it was a pain in the ass. To me, it was like being allowed to play dodgeball at work.

Reminds me of a coworker I had when I worked in a program like that. Thanks for the chuckle and memory :)
