Does anyone feel reminded of Ms Trunchbal for Matilda and how she became a Headmistress! this is a real-life example of her :(

I'm autistic (very high functioning). I have other mental disorders, like dyslexia, ADHD, Bipolar disorder and OCD. It's hard to think that people can really treat people like me like we're idiots, that we can't understand anything or things like that. People with learning disabilities aren't stupid. They learn differently. I wish there were more people who can understand this.

despicable behaviour by people you trust.

It’s really sad, so many great teachers can’t find jobs, and yet there are people like this who are allowed around children. I wish I could just go through and fire all the teachers like this,

My nephew had a PROFESSOR announce to the whole class that "William has a*s burgers!!". My nephew has Asperger's Autism, as well as his two siblings, his father and mother, and myself. That professor will NEVER teach in my state again, believe me!! Nebraska's public school system, and it's community college are a JOKE if you have any type of disability or learning disorder!!!!

I'm not surprised one bit. Sadly many groups that claim to be understanding are full of ignorant people who only want to improve their reputations. I have autism myself and was really shocked at the treatment I and other children at the time received from similar groups. Autism is simply impossible to type-cast, there's such a broad range, and even the range within a single person is not necessarily uniform nor linear.

Is there an acronym for "Crying my eyes out ?" (CMEO). If not, there should be.

I hope the God of Karma pays a visit to these two teachers as well as the Head Mistress for trying to play down the schools part in this despicable behaviour.

Why do these people (they aren't teachers) choose this profession when they don't care about the children? If the time comes when you have lost heart and no longer care to "teach" it is time to change professions.

Heard about this on the Philip DeFranco show a couple weeks ago- disgusting behaviour from people who are supposed to be helping the kid, makes you wonder why they became teachers if that is how much care & compassion they show children, any children, let alone ones with learning difficulties.

If you can't handle working with special needs kids or any kids for that matter, get a different job? If you thought you could but it stresses you out too much, quit and get something else. Kids, with or without special needs, shouldn't be treated like this by the people that are supposed to teach them and help them grow.(shouldn't be treated like that by anyone actually.)

Unfortunately there are many teachers out there like that. They only want the job for the long holidays. Even with non special needs kids they're don't care they just put the ones that struggle at the back of the class and just focus on the brighter kids. It's just so wrong and sad. Every child is special and every child no matter what their learning abilities should have the chance to shine and have all their needs met and addressed.

I worked for two years as a substitute teaching assistant in autistic support classrooms. I found a lot of teachers like the ones described above. Either there is a severe shortage of special ed teachers or a severe shortage of parents like Milissa Davis.

What I do not understand is that they were employed by a school for children with special needs, why could they cope with them? In the UK you have to special training for a special school, beside you teaching degrees, is it not the same in America

Mom is really gonna need that attorney in order to explain how and why she set up her 12 year old autistic son with a wire and sent him to school to record PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN ADULTS illegally. She got two teachers fired over these illegal recordings. I see “lawsuit” written all over this.

On April 27th, 2018 D.G. Sciortino from Shareably came up with an article that is so biased it borders on the absurd. “Teachers Bully Boy With Autism And Mom Catches Them On Tape” might as well have been written by Milissa Davis, the mom in charge of this set up. Right off the bat, once you’ve identified a handicapped student by name and start publishing his photograph, you’ve already violated C**A, GINA, FERPA and HIPPA. So obviously the welfare of this child is not Sciortino’s first concern. “Nonprofit school” is just an elegant way to say “Charter School.” One day Milissa Davis decided to hide a recording device in her son’s backpack, record adults without their knowledge or consent and then post these recordings online in violation of C**A, FERPA, HIPPA, federal wiretapping laws, cyberstalking laws and probably a few other laws I can’t remember. THEN she took her son out of the school and got a lawyer.

Sometimes there are people who need a baseball bat to the teeth......These teachers need that lesson.

The sad thing is this happens with children who don't have special needs too. I stood outside the classroom of my oldest son several times and heard nothing but rants against the superintendent of schools. I finally had to pull my kids out of school and homeschool them.

Camden was being bullied. Not by classmates or children on the playground, but by specially trained teachers who were supposed to support him. This should not happen in schools of this type... I congratulate Camden's mother for her good idea to put a recording device

I don't hate the teachers and honestly what I heard wasn't horrible and to be fair being a teacher at a special needs school is frustrating like really frustrating and if one of the students isn't doing what they are supposed to which is what it sounded like it can be more frustrating and it seems like they were taking their frustration on him and since people with special needs can be different it can be hard to connect with them but since they should've been aware of what they were getting into and I do agree that what they said wasn't ok but I can't hate them for doing what they did also I feel like if you are going to be a special needs teacher then they should have special training and requirements if they don't already.

These teachers were only in the job because they were too immature to grow up and leave school! Shame on them and anyone else who treats a child like this!

It is illegal in New Zealand to record someone without their knowledge. But what a revelation! And with a son who cannot communicate I fully understand it. However she should have given the school the opportunity to address it first. They may not have done anything, and she could still go public, but it was the right thing to have done. There are no doubt good people there too.

Seems like everyone is a douchebag here. The mom not wanting to talk to the principle and instead going to the internet is just awful, as is going public with people's private coversations. The teachers that said stuff right to the kid need a smack, but so does this mom. People say all kinds of stuff privately between friends. EVERYONE does it. Every single person says things privately they would not say publicly, or at the very least they think things they wouldn't say publicly. Everyone. Maybe the mom was just at wits end so I get it, but she still chose poorly.

I don't normally pity people, but damn, those teachers got what she deserved

dddd

This is not enough to fire them but also certified them not fit for the job in future in same capacity , as they need psychological treatment themselves and they can not be care taker or teacher of wonderful kids. I am very upset with this incident full marks to mother of wonderful kid and even the board of the school should also be fined due to not able to understand the parents complain and there should be some training to them also.

It's hilarious that the administration claims that the teachers were talking amongst themselves with no kids present...how did that "conversation" come into existence, then? ... They'll close ranks and pretend the recordings are a lie and try to pretend that since the child is already disabled, no one can "prove" what happened.

No! Heart breaking. Big Love from Australia XX
