ATAB. when as an institution you start labeling accessibility needs as "special needs" that's how you create a perfect culture for abuse.
I'm pretty sure she got mad he calls himself autistic because he's not a child she can abuse and shows signs of agency
You mean the underpaid people who often try their best, pay for materials (and sometimes even class parties) out of their own pocket and enter into one of the least rewarding professions are as a whole, bastards?
This teacher may be a clown, but don't try lump them in with a 30 second sound byte from a clown. She may just be sick of all the autistic jokes she has to hear.
My teachers turned up each day and put up with me and the class often being little shits, I am eternally grateful for them.
Also, if you rename special needs care as "accessibility" then in 2 years that will become the next insult.
what part of the comment you're responding to do you think claimed that teachers as a whole are bastards?
This part:
ah, i didn't know what that meant, and just kinda glossed over it. it being at the beginning of the comment, i assumed it was like imho, otoh, ianal, or other such acronyms that don't really add much meaning to the statement, and figured it wasn't worth the effort to research.
damn, thanks for proving that it's not just reddit users who struggle with reading comprehension
and into the bin goes all your opinions
Wow the rare “self uno reverse card”.
Normalize calling gifted programs "special needs".
I could've been in the gifted program. However, I was considered to retarded to be a part of it. (My words) I have dyslexia and speech problems so I ended up appearing worse academically than I was. I can read no problem and was reading from a young age. I just couldn't explain what I was reading verbally.
We need to rethink the classroom so that people from all backgrounds succeed. Often neurodivergent people are the ones who can excel.
why?
Because that's what they are. They're for students that have different educational needs from the majority.
that makes no sense because even the majority contains students with individual needs. universal design over segregating based on perceived ability
There's lots of variation in body sizes of people who wear medium size shirts. Why do we bother having large and small when they don't perfectly account for every difference?
that's not what universal design means in disability spaces. you should look it up
Ah, I've heard of the concept but not the term. How would that look in the context of education?
Eh... I had some horrible experiences with teachers growing up, but there were a lot of ones who cared. Not much they can do though.
I agree with you honestly
Ideally the classroom should be adapted to be more inclusive. Neurodiversity isn't some rare disease
