Where is the common sense in our schools??
|
I was reading my Google Reader files and came across this: Kindergartner Voted Out of Class over at The Core Knowledge Blog. I made a comment there but I feel that I need to say again.... WHAT THE HECK???? I was trying to think of reasons for this behavior. Having the gift of counsel (and a BA in Psych--not only makes me slightly dangerous--haha--but...), I always have to ask what someone could be thinking. Why did they do this? What was their motivation??? I used to write curriculum and I have to further wonder what could her teaching goals have been? What could she have been thinking? Was this part of some sort of lesson plan on the harshness of humans? Was it part of a larger plan on how to socialize in a mean way vs how to socialize in a decent and humane way? Again....WHAT COULD SHE HAVE BEEN THINKING? That the boy is "in the process of being diagnosed with autism" is actually not at issue here...it just makes the whole thing nastier. This teacher should be fired. No if's and's or but's. She has no business in the classroom instructing young children (or older children either) in anything. This is yet another reason why the "kids who are homeschooled aren't properly socialized" argument holds no water. If this is the kind of socialization going on in schools...then I still want no part in it. He is Risen, Just as He said! |
