I’m about to say something very unpopular. Prefaced with, we don’t have the whole story. I’m sure the teachers did not do this as a joke.
A lot of these special needs kids do NOT belong in a classroom with “normal” children. They are and can be disruptive with no ability to control themselves. There are limited aides for them.
The teacher is very limited in what he or she can do in dealing with the problem. Sometimes people reach the end of their rope and do very questionable things.
But a lot of these unfortunate kids should not be mainstreamed because that benefits no one.
“I’m sure the teachers did not do this as a joke.”
You might wanna take the time to actually read the article.....the teachers THEMSELVES state it was done as a joke.
Do you think the teachers are lying when they say they did it as a joke? What could they be covering up that would be even worse than the lie?
FWIW, I’m with you. I can scarcely believe it was done as some kind of joke. (Not these days and not with special education students.) So much disinformation appears in the news these days (and particularly where Trump is concerned) I just get the feeling we’re not getting the whole story or we’re getting a slanted one.
