Reply #30: Your brother is disabled not helpless or less of a real person [View All]

Things like this happen to everyone and it needs to be dealt without without making it a federal case like he was physically attacked, or swore at. We all have to deal with some of this and he had people who stood up for him.

The teacher was wrong but don't go postal on her. All that will do is force her out of teaching or also turn vindictive and sabotage the next disabled kid? Teachers are under tremendous pressures today too. She did apologize and perhaps tried to do more.

We all carry a lot of baggage around from school and teachers but rather than "getting" the teacher how about making the whole atmosphere better for all students by being the better person? Goof for you to be protective but your brother is going to have to live in the world and the better he can learn to deal with difficult situations and people, the more "same" he will feel and the happier he will be. So bite your cheek while he learns to do this as part of growing up.

I hope there is a good outcome for everyone in this unfortunate incident.
