I cannot even fathom the idea of letting this teacher continue to teach, much less kindergarteners who think the sun rises and sets on their teachers. - Cyndy
wow, what a terrible idea - intimidate the crap out of little kids....gees... fire that bitch! - Susan Beebe
Actually, I was involved in a similar incident myself as a Kindergartener. Teracher kicked me out of the class and told me to "go home." I ran home -- a six-year-old running home himself -- and cried to my mom that I was "fired from Kindergarten." In the postmordem, I was moved to another class (including briefly being moved up a grade) and the teacher wasn't fired. - Chris Reed
@Susan Beebe - Right on, fire that bitch...! What the hell...? - Mario Olckers
It is a bit over the top, sensational story; no wonder why newspapers love stories like these. - Chris Judson via Alert Thingy
@Chris Reed: In 6th grade I transferred to new school (family moved). New teacher didn't want another student in overcrowded class, so she put me somewhere else...a class for kids with learning disabilities. Poor kids were reading at 1st grade level. First time I read aloud, the teacher's mouth dropped to the floor. She marched me to the office. Principle summoned idiot teacher who had "demoted" me and chewed her out. Needless to say, I was placed back where I belonged. - Robert Stevens
This is ridiculous to the point of unbelievability. But I believe it. - Eric Florenzano
I can add to this about Robert's third grade in a new school. His teacher sent a note home one day about some minor infraction. She made numerous grammatical errors in the note. I corrected each, used a bright red pen, marked it "F," sealed it in an envelope so Robert wouldn't know, and sent it back to her via Robert. I never heard from her again! - Robert J. Stevens, Sr.
I can totally relate to that poor kid .. it sucks to get "put under the bus" believe that :( - JohnBfromMemphis via Alert Thingy
we still need a DIS-like button in FriendFeed - Susan Beebe
I smell a new reality show! Kindergarten Survivor! - Geoff Schultz
Wow! Comments galore! @James I knew you would appreciate my outrage. I only posted this AFTER I had emailed the school board. ;) @Robert, Sr.? You rock hard, sir. - Cyndy
That story brings back childhood nightmares... at 4, I was considered difficult, boisterous, disobedient and disruptive at infants school, until finally aged 6 or 7 they diagnosed my deafness. My parents took me out immediately and into another one; I did fine there. Still keep in touch with those teachers. Years later, when bumping into the ghastly teacher, I took a great deal of pleasure in telling her I went on to get a doctorate. Teachers can be intolerant, mean spirited and spiteful wherever you go. - Sally Church
Wow. Just, wow. *shakes head in disbelief* :-| - Lisa L. Seifert
@Robert, no, I saw that one as well. I don't get to comment as often as I'd like, but I at least manage to skim Autism Vox regularly. That teacher was, however, disciplined (immediately suspended without pay). What galled me the most about this one was that the school appears to be doing NOTHING. - Cyndy
all kinds of weird stuff like this happens in classrooms. - edythe
