As the father of a child with Autism I feel I need to address this thread...

I understand the argument that one child should not be allowed to hold back the achievements of others. But I do not believe that is the issue here.

There are diagnosis and procedures that need to be applied then followed. This is the educational equivalent of “The Rule of Law”. Much like evidence must be gathered and a trial held in a legal case.

This teacher has done a scaled down version of Rev. Al getting a bunch of like minded animals to burn down a store and kill someone.

Without “The Rule of Law” democracy is nothing but demagoguery, anarchy, and mob rule.

This teacher was a bully. There was absolutely no point to this exercise besides trying to look popular to her other students and belittling a possibly mentally disabled child that may not be responsible for his behavior.

‘nough said.

Very well said and worth repeating.

And, in the meantime, Alex (who has not yet been officially diagnosed autistic) gets to run the classroom.

In your heart, do you really believe that a teacher is concerned with “looking popular” to a group of five year olds?

Very well stated.
