I dont even understand how teachers or even a regular adult could bully or talk down to kids like this; "normal" or not, special needs or not. How is an adult going to use such language to a child. Now I know it MAY seem like the actual words are not that vuglur but understand the situation. She is saying this to kids, not an adult who has heard far worst in a movie. To these kids this is EASILY the harshest, most vulgur words theyve EVER heard. And on a daily basis at that? I respect the father here for his stance and the postion he has taken but more so the methods he took. I cant say I know what I wouldve done but I know it would take every fiber in my being to not go and handle this myself. And I am not even close to being a violent person.
What scares me is my daughter who is now 10 months old has microtia, we call it her little fin. Her outer ear is deformed and her ear canal is narrow reducing her hearing capacity in that ear by roughly 30-40% as of her most recent tests. Now that is a fluid number as it is hard to identify it now. But that said she will be in special education classes and at the very least have an adapted curriculum to addressee her issues as she goes forward. On ALL I love if an adult makes fun of the way her ear the way looks or her hearing loss I would like to think I would handle it in the manner this dad did. But god knows me and he must know that wont happen.
On another note w/out a ton of excess personal crap I was born with horrible ear infections and as a result was deaf till I was around 5 years old and since my first words at 6 I have had a speech in pediment in the form of a stutter. Now w/ age it was decreased but when I was in elementary to middle school the teasing was horrible to the point I would cry at times when I got home to my Nana. I cant even begin to fathom that feeling but from a teacher...the thoughts these kids must have the emotions they must have. It upsets me to think about it....
I hope the best for all those kids, and there parents may they find peace w/ all of this in due time.

Tenure policies and the weight they hold
Despicable.

i bet dude is calm cuz he was probably told by his lawyers he would have to be if he wanted anything to come of it...who knows though.
at the beginning he said some of it was recorded in february...maybe he was livid the first month and just thought better of being angry by trying to get this thing to go viral.
sad in any case...

Terrible story and as a teacher myself..I would never call a child a bastard..let alone to a student with special needs..I am in a masters program for Special Education and I eventually want to teach special needs student but I can assure this parent and every other parent that this will not happen in my classroom..

tenure isn't really is issue it's really those who take advantage of it and abuse it.

Sickening. Hes right, those people should be revoked of their right to be an educator forever.
They take advantage of the fact that the child cannot communicate and use it as their shield as they abuse him.

I don't know how dude kept his composure during the video. I would've been trembling with murderous rage.

Because most school systems don't allow you to teach, it doesn't take away from the point that I would say these days there are many teachers only in it for the pay check. Anyways if you haven't already watched you should check out Waiting for Superman and you'll see if the best of teachers, with the greatest of intentions can find themself with their head in their hands because of the school system

I work with individuals with autism..and this just makes me sick to my stomach
I almost could not even watch the whole thing.
I bet now because of this, it will make it harder for the ones that want to be a special ed teacher, like myself

you couldn't call my kid (especially if he/she is as emotionally fragile as this one) and think i won't raise hell
i'd own that lady's house by the time i was done

Wow.
Props to the father for making the vid. Those teachers should be banned from teaching.
