Father With Autistic Son Sends His Kid to School With a Wire, Exposes Bullying and Abuse by Teachers.

MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING FOR BULLYING BY TEACHERS, ABLEISM

Dear Akian’s teachers:

Fuck.  You.

Fuck you for tormenting a child this way.  Fuck you for treating him and every other student in that class like trash.  Fuck you for potentially scarring them all for life; for making them scared in a place they should feel safe in.  Fuck you for contributing to the cycle of special needs helplessness, where kids are given up on and left to languish instead of being given the skills and knowledge they need.  Fuck you and all your ableism, your lies, and your perpetration of a culture where people like us are devalued, harassed, and abused.

Fuck you.

Just fuck you.

This video makes me want to scream. But as a child care provider, it also galvanizes me. Because I know that I will NEVER be what those teachers are. And it makes me even more determined to always be a positive spot in the day of the kids I take care of. To always be someone worthy of their trust and their parents trust. 

father of the fucking year.

I just watched this whole thing.  I really really urge you to do the same.

Parenting - you’re doing it right.

I have seen SO MANY special needs students bullied by teachers. You do not understand how close I have been to punching teachers before. This is an epidemic, this needs to be talked about. 

Wow.  As a step-parent of a severely autistic child who goes to therapy and school, this seriously scares the shit out of me.  My son is non-verbal, so it’s not like he’d be able to tell me if things like this were going on.  This breaks my fucking heart.  

I was bullied all through school for a speech impediment and the thought that this poor man’s child had to go through it too?  With autism?!  It’s the worst thing.  Bullying of this caliber is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone, be them child, adult, impaired or not.  It changes them forever.  And you can’t ever change it back.

I just can’t understand the world sometimes.

These are exactly the type of people I despise. The people who say ‘oh, I want to do such and such for a living, but if that doesn’t work out, I’ll just be a teacher or something’. No. Just stop. Right now. If you think teaching is a ‘fall back’ job that any joe shmoe can do, you need to get the fuck out of classrooms and as far the fuck away from children as fucking possible. Teaching is not a job any person can do. Teaching is an insanely difficult profession that requires a TON of dedication, patience, and perseverance. It is not an easy or glamorous job. You’ll have to do more than you signed up for for less money than you were promised. You have to be babysitter, surrogate parent, encyclopedia, counselor, friend, mentor, and authority all at once. If you can’t handle doing all of those things simultaneously, you have no qualifications to be helping students learn, of any age, grade, or mental capability. The women in this video are disgusting. There’s really no other word for it. They clearly overestimated themselves and had no idea what they were getting into. But what scares me the most is the fact that they probably went into the profession, marveling to themselves and others about how great with kids they assumed they were. 

What the fuck is wrong with these teachers?
