But stranger things have happened I guess.Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318879290010704973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33229035.post-64786829960390424312008-05-29T11:42:00.000-06:002008-05-29T11:42:00.000-06:00WTF??

In ninth grade, I was in boarding school with a teacher who once put a girl on a stool in the middle of the room so she could see how "real students learned". She was not oficially handicapped, but she was slow, possible mildly retarded. I've never forgotten the way she treated that girl. The teacher was constantly torturing her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33229035.post-22729261546930207932008-05-28T18:59:00.000-06:002008-05-28T18:59:00.000-06:00My, how progressive of China.My, how progressive of China.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33229035.post-67308824482106056072008-05-28T18:56:00.000-06:002008-05-28T18:56:00.000-06:00Lovely.

Here in the sticks, the director of a charter school was recently ousted by the board of education because of an incident where a child with a severe peanut allergy was *almost* exposed to some mulch with peanut shells in it. The parents were outraged at the director's lack of concern over this child and there was a rumor that said director called the child's mother a "psycho". The parents demanded she be immediately escorted from her job. As the mother of a child with a severe food allergy, I applaud them. If we're not advocates for our children, who is?Mountain Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192041925106480035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33229035.post-88389260938152765972008-05-28T14:20:00.000-06:002008-05-28T14:20:00.000-06:00OMG that poor child...it does happen tho....my son...OMG that poor child...it does happen tho....my son...not a special needs child ( or young adult now) had his 3rd grade teacher do the same thing....she had my son stand at the front of the room while all of his classmates had to say why they did not like him....my son spent 1/3 of the 3rd grade in the hall....I never knew until my son told me why he always packed his pockets full of GI joes and matchbox cars...so he could have something to play with in the hallway...he counted all the bricks too...the principal was sooooo very supportive....<BR/>he said not much could be done the teacher had tenure and was retiring at the end of the year anyway.....no wonder my son and his firends plotted her death<BR/>aaggghhhh....Cheer34https://www.blogger.com/profile/14932035995477093530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33229035.post-89963167878064087122008-05-28T13:55:00.000-06:002008-05-28T13:55:00.000-06:00as a former teacher, I can say that this person wa...as a former teacher, I can say that this person was either high as a kite on crack or committing a form of work-related suicide or very possibly both.
