I've been doing it for years. My experience is a bit different because I just sort of fell into this and all of my training was on a stipend, so I didn't have to spend my own money. I always taught in what they call "fully self contained" classrooms, but like you said the students will go out for PE and specials. If I could change anything it would be the pay. Wins are hard to come by, but I had one student on my caseload who, by the end of his middle school career, was no longer on an IEP and was fully mainstreamed. That was cool. He was making friends and had a girlfriend and everything. Again, my experience is probably not the norm but as long as all my parents were happy (like, not taking the school to court) my administrators never really bothered me and we got to do whatever we wanted. I am at the county level right now so I travel to different schools to help, but I miss the classroom a lot. When I was at the middle school level it was so much fun that I never thought of it as "work." I'm in the US. I'm not sure how it works in other countries. I hope this helps!
