Probably a Tik-Tok thing
The staff seems to have very low IQs.
Best part of whole article, “two former staff members”.
The abusers, or the people sending their kids to be abused...?
and i’m sure the union went all out to protect....the teachers
The use of tape as a deterrent or restraint is questionable when there are usually some type of deterrent or restraining policy that legally allows for the use of permitted restraints being used only in certain well defined situations that may possibly occur in such settings and are used to prevent self-harm by a student and or harm to the staff by a student when harmful out of control behavior occurs.
Yeah, the “we were just kidding” defense ain’t gonna work if this gets to a jury.
And both teachers are female....that surprised me.
Is there the chance this situation is not as it it’s being presented? I guess everyone will find out in court.
I can imagine a situation where teachers restrain a student out of a need to do so and take a video of the incident for their own protection in court. It may even be a policy of the school to do so to protect it, too.
The article doesn’t put the situation that way so it may not be. But I can imagine it. And we’ll see what the court says.
It won’t fly especially since this is a kid with disabilities they were making fun of.
The mean IQ in the USA is 98. Your experience of interacting with those lower or higher may vary widely depending upon the settings you frequent.
Our present culture ‘celebrates’ deviancy of all kinds. Why someone —especially an ostensibly somewhat professional adult— would think to do something like this to another person —especially this poor kid— is beyond me. We are immersed in evil.
They thought it was a joke?!
If someone tied up their children, in front of their classmates, even made a video of it - how amused would that humiliation be to these ‘educators’?
Maybe I read it wrong, it was the teachers that were special needs?
Fortunately these newbs are all emasculated. If that happened in my high school (back in the day), I imagine the class would have taped all the administrators to their chairs before they went home for the day.
Better than the little girl at Comet Pizza, they did it for her birthday party.
time to homeschool Dustin.
Mind-boggling.
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.
