Teacher. Figures.
Black are harder on other blacks than anyone else.
It's because of dysfunctional black culture which includes a strong element of self-loathing.
You can usually recognize a Down’s child by features. In any even, the teacher should have been given a heads up.
I have an adult Down’s brother-in-law, and if he cursed, he likely wouldn’t even know what he was saying. Down’s people have different levels of functioning. The teacher goofed, but sub teaching is a TOUGH job, and I think the teacher should be given an opportunity somewhere else. Many Down’s children are poor candidates to be mainstreamed in regular classrooms.

A great many special needs children say all sorts of things they shouldn’t say. They don’t know. They can’t stop. Anyone working with them should know that they have limitations. This is along the lines of yelling at a muscular dystrophy kid in a wheelchair and just demanding that he walk dammit! You can’t be upset if he doesn’t do as you would like.
Not enough information to comment one way or the other....
What was said? How functioning was the child? Where did the girl learn the potential string of profanity? Do you value having a classroom subjected to one student getting their way in cursing?
Most kids could use the soap treatment, and the wood shed treatment.
Brown lye soap is the worst. She likely got mild tasting Camay.
Doing this to a DS child is just plain cruelty.
It doesn’t help that there’s a movie out (Champions, Woody Harrelson) that has a young teen Down’s girl using gross & gratuitous profanity. This girl probably saw it.
Well, that’s old school discipline which gets the teacher in trouble today. It used to be standard. Today, students disrespect teachers and learn to disrespect authority figures. When they do this to the cops they get arrested, charged, tased, or shot.
Set the Wayback machine for about 1960 Mr Peabody!
or perhaps....
SOAP? How primitive! My mom always warned us she would wash our mouth out with bleach if we said a cuss word! So we never cursed. At 77 years of age I still don’t curse.
Properly conductd, the experience could have been a profitable one to everyone involved.
But the primary cause was the failure of the parent to train (not teach) her child to obey a direct order from a superior.
Ask any Drill Instructor or recruit who failed boot camp and necessarily received a BCD.
So, what happens when the student curses or strikes out at the next teacher? Fire the teacher for a negative disciplinary corrective procedure? Send the mother to a dog-training school to learn how to use negative/positive incentives to train her own child for proper behavior? Send the administrator to management seminars to learn how to handle a manipulative parent and to resolve the issue without career-damaging reconciliation of the budding substitute-teacher?
Bunch of fools, all demonstrating childish behaviors.
How old was this teacher? 100?
This is NEVER okay. Not for ANY children. Retarded or otherwise.
Not used as a pejorative, its a REAL word. Another one of those words the left has decided, all by themselves, to eliminate from the lexicon.
I REFUSE to use THEIR words. Who the hell gave them permission/authority to change OUR language?
That’s assault on a minor. Jail the teach.
