If she's a fine teacher otherwise, outside this incident, then why not keep her?

If that ideology were true, than you could snip and edit Adolf Hitler's "resume" away until all it showed were his painting skills, that making him a good person.

The teacher needs to be fired for allowing this bullshit and thinking it's fair.

The kid needs to die for being autistic, and therefore, useless.

The kids in the class need to die for being plain shallow.

Agreed.

The kid needs to die for being autistic, and therefore, useless.

Autism isn't the same as retarded dumbass. They can actually be highly intelligent and contribute a lot to society (*cough* they think Einstein had autism).

The kids in the class need to die for being plain shallow.

Five year olds? Shallow? NEVR!

The following sentence is true. The previous sentence is false. O_o PARADOX!

she diud a reality YV type excercise in the class.... WHAT THE FUCK... reality TV shows arent fucking up kids minds they are fucking up adults minds and in turn the adults fuck up the kids... this woman should lose her job.. i think the family should sue her.. causing an autistic boy at that age to have deep inset fears about social interaction at school is terrible for him and the way he will learn in the future ... as if his autism isnt a hard enough road block.

poor kid i hope he can work his way through it... thats so friggin sad

To do that to ANY KID is mean-spirited and outright harmful. This is the stage of life where social skills are developed, and telling a kid no one likes him by a "reality TV "vote develops all the wrong ones. What the f*ck was this woman thinking? She should not be teaching elementary school, and especially not kindergarten.

Being a child who actually has a mental disability, it angers me that people except this.

Back when I was in grade school, I was always made fun of because of my mental disability. There wasn't any sort of help for kids with mental disabilities, so I always had the lowest grades. I never had any friends, I never was "popular", and I never talked because after awhile, I learned that I make a fool of myself when I speak. I often cried in public because no one understood me. And I've attempted suicide many times.

And what's really weird that even though I didn't have book smarts, I had a lot street smarts.

I really would wish there weren't as many assholes who make fun of children with mental disabilities. But I know that's out of reach.

Let me give my two cents on this one:

It wasn't because he had Asperger's syndrome. Every kid has bad noticable habits that do get noticed at grades 1-4. It's not like he can't stop any of those activities because of Asperger's. He can, but he doesn't. And there is not a mental disorder stopping him from doing it. Chances are he chose to be that way despite being told it was unpleasant, and that was honestly coming to him.

Drama is my anti-drug.

Maybe she didn't know, too. Hell; retarded or not all kindergarteners act the same.

Clearly she didn't take her job too seriously then. Why would she send a child that she is supposed to be in charge of for the day to the nurses office? It's irresponsible, regardless of whether or not she knew his situation.

Nice to know grade school kids are as cruel as ever. Personally I think that the teacher had a laspe in judgment, and at least deserves her job back, she is getting punished anyway, and we've all had shitty teachers so it's nothing to act surprised about.

Also, the two kids that didn't vote against him are the most gutsy-est kids in the entire room, I hope they grow up to be members of society that are actually decent people.

How the fuck does making an autistic kid stand up and be bullied ever fit into a kindergarten environment?

That teacher is an awful human being.

Did anyone catch that guys post on page 2?

I wiki'd it. Asperger's is hardly autism, as he said. It just makes him socially awkward, and does not affect emotional reactions or mental capabilities. Just behavior.

This kid is the same as an average high school nerd. They're usually really smart, but just don't get along well.

If this was done with a 15 year old nerd with no disabilities at all would you react the same way?

Or would you lol like I did. I think at least 60% of you would lawl with me. The other 40% suck dick.

How? Dude the NAME OF YOUR THREAD IS "AUTISM BOI GOT PWNED BAWWWWWWWW".

The whole fucking reason this is even in the news is because the kid has "problems".

But he doesn't.

Say she's a 9th grade teacher. She takes some skinny little nerd, putshim in front of the class and the same shit happens. It would MAYBE make the news. For a day. Then it would be gone.

Say you make this same thread about the modded incident. Everyone would be laughing their asses off and giving the teacher props for having the balls to do that shit.

Seriously get over it. The teacher must be decent if she got voted back in, and maybe she was just fucking with the kid for shits and gigs. My english teacher does that shit all the time, it makes the kids love her.

You're one spiteful motherfucker.

They would still rage, because you're not supposed to come up with reasons NOT to like somebody in school, let alone Kindergarten. She probably did that out of discrimination and taught the kids to "avoid people like him". Jesus fucking christ.

Because this is a child in Kindergarten. A 13 year-old would probably laugh it off. Why? Because he's 13 and teens bust each other's chops on a daily basis.

You and the rest of your class are how old? You're all old enough to understand humor. You can't compare.

So that kind of teacher keeps her job while hundreds of other good teachers loose their jobs due to budget cuts?

They should cut the bad ones first. I don't know... I would have thought that was common sense.

It's not much different to when German teachers made the Jewish kids stand at the front of the class while everyone mocked them and listed reasons why they were evil and so on.

"That guy" isn't helpful. You could be referring to me for all I know.

Lol - you wiki'd it and now you know everything, huh? Half the reason autism is a joke on Newgrounds is because users are under the impression we all self-diagnosed ourselves on Wikipedia. Moving on.

This kid is the same as an average high school nerd. They're usually really smart, but just don't get along well.

How many of those nerds would you guess are undiagnosed autistics?

If this was done with a 15 year old nerd with no disabilities at all would you react the same way?

A 15 year old has the social skills to put up with that shit. A 5 year old doesn't, "disabled" or not.

Or would you lol like I did. I think at least 60% of you would lawl with me. The other 40% suck dick.

If he were 15, we wouldn't have anything to lawl over. Moot point.

Bottom line, no teacher in their right minds would have ANYONE up there to be thrown at with insults and later be kicked out of class.

That's just disrespectful.
