I am bipolar AND a special ed teacher. I have worked successfully with a few bipolar children and I love it. I have also just started on tryleptal (300mg in the morning and 300 mg at night. I take it with a few other drugs, and so far I like it very much. If I can answer any questions for you, especially about behavior, please let me know.
