autism websites.

The teacher has been removed from the classroom and the district is

I can't comprehend that a teacher could do such a thing. I have several
friends with autistic children. And this should not be done to ANY child.
Most families I know with aspies homeschool and I can definately see why.

It's obvious this teacher has no idea how to deal with children you have
extra challenges. What happened to "praise the good" "redirect the bad"
"help the child learn to control?" Hopefully he can find a school that will
work with his abilities better.

In my opinion, a bunch of 'net busibodies are of no use. Let them handle it
locally.

The last time I saw a story this inflammatory regarding
something done by a school was during the Fox "news" dredging.
There are too many key elements missing from that story for it
to be accurate.

While the story may be inflamatory, the teacher has been removed from
the classroom pending investigation. And she has admitted to some of
the details.

I have seen teachers who are like this. I don't think they made this
up. It's not the majority, but special education students are often
treated very poorly in many schools.

I worked in an inner city school where teachers who did this kind of
thing were simply transferred to other schools. We had one man who
got a 17 year old student pregnant, paid off her family (these were
very poor people) and did not lose his teaching license. He was given
to another school, so he became someone elses problem.

Having seen the problems with how schools treat special education
students, I think it is often time to act.

The same thing happened to my nephew 20 years ago in an elementary school in
Michigan. My nephew had been recently diagnosed with ADHD mainly caused by
Tourette's Syndrome -- which is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The
doctors and my sister were working on fine-tuning his meds and getting him
settled with a therapist and had informed the school and his teacher and
asked for a little forbearance until they got him stabilized. The teacher
had him stand in front of his class one day and had the entire class
ridicule him the same way this little boy was ridiculed. When the principal
received my sister's complaint and called the teacher on the carpet, she
said she didn't believe in Tourette's. She thought he was just a bad kid.

Once he was stabilized and put with a more understanding teacher, he became
a straight-A student, took first chair in symphonic band, is now in grad
school at the University of Michigan and is an exemplary and well-adjusted
human being. But it was all threatened by one narrow-minded woman when he
was 6 years old.

She was fired.

I don't believe I said there aren't incompetent teachers out
there, at large, pulling stupid and hair-brained stunts.
Jackasses that pull stunts like you've mentioned should be
terminated, not just for that school district but prevented
from teaching anywhere else.

What concerns me about Otot's post was its similarity to
another recent event. I watched as Fox "news" took a situation
and sensationalize it into nothing close to the original event.
The principal, the superintendent, and several teachers and
prominent parents at that school received death threats from
having their emails posted across The Internet.

While I'm all for getting the story out so it doesn't get swept
under the carpet, I'm leary of going further because of that
experience.

She was fired.

A proper outcome. I hope she took stock from the situation and
moved on to a more fulfilling career; perhaps fry-cook at JitB.

So a bunch of 'net ninnies reading a bunch of allegedly this and allegedly
that have something to say on the matter?

Based on what, exactly? The MEDIA?!? Right.
