Maybe not much more, but you DO need to know how to teach it so all your
kids can learn - including those who might learn differently.

I'm assuming you don't have kids in school nowadays. Teachers wear more
hats than ever, especially in the younger grades. It's like a three ring circus
daily, and then some with all the services provided and documentation
required. Class sizes are larger, "extras" are less and less.
By your reasoning special education teachers should be paid less than their
regular education counterparts, yet special ed teachers are regularly hired
at a greater starting salary.
