As a teacher you are expected to teach with kindness and patients. Well if that is the case this guy needs to have his license revoked and needs to look for a new job. A high school "special needs" teacher was recently caught on tape doing something very naughty! This teacher was not being patient, nor was he being nice, he was bulling a student who did not want to be called special. Upon telling his parents and staff of the bulling and not being believed he recorded the interaction between himself and the teacher with his cell phone and showed it to his parents. The teacher is on PAID administrative leave pending findings from a Board of Education investigation. The video if you want to watch it is on youtube. Not only was the teacher being rude he was cussing at the student.
I find what this teacher (if he should be called that) did revolting. Not just because he did it to a "special" kid. If he would have done it to any student K-12 or higher education in our part of the country he would be answering to some very tough questions and likely would loose his job. If he does loose his job, I do not see how any school could hire him after seeing this video. I understand that the guy may have had a bad day, but he shouldn't have taken it out on the teen. I think that when this video was shown to the faculty the teacher should have been suspended and the teen and his class mates interviewed. That administrative leave is a nice way of saying a vacation(just my opinion).
I will be looking forward to seeing the outcome of this incident. Watch the video on the youtube link above and read the story then tell me what you think should happen.
Thats awful.. I read a story, it also has the recording, of a special needs girl who was bullied for three years by her teacher and teachers aid, they called her dumb, said she failed tests without even looking at them, said that she was a liar, and that she cheats, has no friends... Talk about awful things teachers do. It is sad how few good teachers there are, and how many bads one have nothing done to them
ReplyDeleteI agree, how can you call yourself a teacher if you treat students like lower-lifeforms? A paid leave with this kind of incident is also quite appauling. Does the school board even care or are they just hoping to "wait it out"? Some people just really push your buttons.
