Thursday in class, we had news that there was a a case of a 14 year old girl in Washington Court House, Ohio was bullied by her teachers. Her parents bugged her with a tape recorder and had evidence that she was being harrassed and bullied by two teacher. Here is a link that has some of the sound they recorded, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/14-year-old-special-needs-student-bullied-by-teachers_n_1095110.html. Basically, the teacher kept calling her dumb, lazy, stupid, a liar, and a cheater. There is a part in the video when the teacher doesn't even take her test, saying that she knows she already failed. Also, she answered a question wrong and was forced to run on a tredmill.
According to the news, one teacher was put on un-paid lead until the end of the year and the other was asked to resign. I believe this is ludacris! The teachers should be fired immedietley. What more evidence does one need? There is voice recordings of the teachers harrassing and bullying her. They didn't grade her test, they called her lazy, stupid and dumb. Also, they made her run on a treadmill when she got an answer wrong! That is ridiculous! These teachers should be fired right away. We also had news Thursday that a similar case happened in New Jersey, and that teacher was put on paid leave. How could you put a teacher on paid leave when there is video evidence of the teacher threatening, bullying, and harassing the students. I believe that schools should somehow should find out about these things happening and have a no tolerence ruls and fire the teacher immedietley. This is ridiculous.
i agree with Matt on this topic. No teacher should have a remote chance of getting back to teaching after committing such a horrendous crime as this. Seriously, if a teacher has nothing better to do then pick on special needs children, he or she should go find a different career. There is no need for any of this to go on. If I saw something like this happening, I would step up and get the teacher fired on the spot.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Matt 100% on this. No teacher should be let off the hook for doing these kinds of things to special needs children. Schools need to find out what kinds of things are going on with teachers/students. They need to find all problems and fix them.
