To let the whole class denigrate this youth with supervision from the teacher is wrong Don't you remember what it felt like to be picked on because you were different?
I never said the teacher was right, so you are wrong for accusing me of that. Get down off your high horse!
You are right and rawhide is wrong. I am outraged at how this child was treated. I have one grandchild who is severely autistic and one who is possibly Asbergers. I cannot imagine either of them being treated this way.
The severely autistic child would probably not understand the punishment, and the Asbergers one would be devastated. The teacher needs to go back to school.
