That would be awful for any NT child but the kid already has autism. This isn't going to make him want to reach out to people.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271566949368832598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-12799105877248907232008-11-26T23:48:00.000+00:002008-11-26T23:48:00.000+00:00I feel like the board did the least they could do....I feel like the board did the least they could do.

Getting rid of this one teacher will not address the problem. What is needed is a clear policy on the part of the schools as to how to address disruptive or non-compliant behavior in students, whether or not they have a diagnosis.VABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652301858477760996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-22966271907328452012008-11-23T23:09:00.000+00:002008-11-23T23:09:00.000+00:00Portillo is lucky she's female.A male teacher doin...Portillo is lucky she's female.<BR/><BR/>A male teacher doing that to my child would be in a hospital still.<BR/><BR/>And, yes, I'm a teacher myself as well as an educational psychologist. And NO, what that woman did to her pupil is something I <I>never</I> would have done to mine.<BR/><BR/>She is an idiot. Period. Because there is nothign in her actioins that demonstrates that she learned anything during her teacher training. And yet she STILL protests that she was right, even though it has clearly been pinted out to her that she as fucking WRONG!<BR/><BR/>What a waste of a teacher-training place!David N. Andrews M.

Most of it doesn't get punished or even discovered. My little brother's kindergarten teachers (they had 2 in one class) did things like this too, to him, and even more to a little friend of his with more obvious developmental issues.<BR/><BR/>This is the thing that got her caught. It's highly unlikely that this was the first or even worst thing she did.

How many children's words are believed by authorities against a teacher's? And how often does stuff like this happen? I'm heartened she got some consequence, but thinking this sort of thing happens a LOT more than we'd like to think... and worse still other things happen, too.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-3256350906814830922008-11-23T15:32:00.000+00:002008-11-23T15:32:00.000+00:00Meant to add this: How many other cases will we s...Meant to add this: How many other cases will we see where the defense is "But I didn't *mean* for it to cause harm"?Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821799658844915805.post-88374384775319766012008-11-23T15:30:00.000+00:002008-11-23T15:30:00.000+00:00I am pleased that the board recommended her unpaid...I am pleased that the board recommended her unpaid suspension. There is some mention (I forget where I read it) of having her license revoked as well.<BR/><BR/>What I find most disturbing is the fact that it took so long for this to be resolved and that it still seems so, I don't know, equivocal. Seems to me that in not making a clear statement about the inappropriateness of the intent of her actions (I do not for one minute doubt she intended the distress she caused), the board left a very large loophole for other teachers to walk through.Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.com
