more fucked up news

[cyndromeda]

as fucked up and close to my heart as my last post was, i believe this one is even worse. Mom says teacher let classmates vote autistic son out of class
yes that's right. to punish him, a child in kindergarten who has asperger's syndrome was voted out of class, weakest link style. then the teacher had each student say what they did not like about

That teacher should be stripped of her credentials...it is a five year old after all jeeezusss! The Aspbergers kid shouldnt have been in a regular kindergarten anyway, now he is scarred for life. I know a few kids with aspbergers and I gotta say, they really arent very likable so its not too surprising that all his classmates hated him. They just dont react like normal kids, their emotions are all messed up. I hope that poor mom gets some proffesional help. I hope that teacher gets removed from interacting with children.

i am not so sure about these kids not belonging in public school. that is to say people such as issac assimov, keith olbermann, einstein, thomas edison, vincent van gogh, keanu reaves, and hosts of other diagnosed in the present, and theoretically diagnosed in the past did not belong in public school

hmmmmm. firstly public school basicaly sucks its all about finding pecking order and socializing kids to be good little corporate capitalist pigs. 'different' kids always end up at the bottom of the pecking order. I never said aspergers kids were dumb or bad- but they definately have a different reaction mechanism than other kids and will generally end up at the bottom of the pecking order one way or another. So...no I dont think they should start out in public school- hey its hard enough for your average five year old to control their behavior....I admit my experience with aspergers is minimal but what I have observed leads me to believe that socialization gets a bit easier as the kids get older- 8 to 10 or so. Until then my experience is that thy are kinda ticking bombs just waiting to blow up and lose control. My likability comment came from the fact that some of the dealings I have had with aspie kids has actually made me want to kill them. Possibly even torture and then kill. Of course it was because MY kid was taking the brunt

being a mama grizzly is a good thing. ;>)
public school beyond sucks. i hate that my kids are subjected to it. i just don't know if separating the kids would help or make it worse.
then, also, there is the fine line between the aspergers behaviour and the kid doing it because they have been allowed to. sometimes, the parents of these kids feel sorry for their kid, and put everything down to the aspergers. these kids still need some form (as much or more so than other kids.) of guidance and discipline, not constantly permissive response from their parents.
go mama bear! ;>)

MAN that PISSES ME OFF!!!

How incompitent can you get and still call yourself a teacher??!

Yes, kids with aspbergers are really hard to deal with, but it is not their fucking fault.

OH it pisses me off so bad!!!

YOu just want to go shoot someone like that, don't you? I've seen it a few times before, teachers like that who abbuse their power over the students....and man I hate those people so much.

Anyway, I am SO glad you're posting again, I've missed you!
Peace and Love and Good Vibrations!

yeah, it brought tears to my eyes to see this. even if the kid was just simply a discipline problem, the teacher's behaviour is like mid-20th century and previous way of handling things. it's a little tribal. a lot disturbing. a teacher is supposed to be there for guidance. even if frustrated, a teacher needs to call someonelse in if he/she cannot handle herself any better. and rethink her career choice while she's at it.
i wonder if she still is working
all the good energies right back at you. ;>)
