A
young girl with autism and severe anxiety issues was in primary school this
week and did not want to be included in circle time so sat under a desk. The
teacher shouted out the child to join the group, the teacher assistant told the
teacher that the young girl was anxious and perhaps just this once could she
stay under the desk. The teacher replied that 'This child has to learn who is
in charge'. The teacher continued to berate the young girl. The teaching
assistant again pleaded with the teacher to leave the young girl along. At this
point the teacher said 'Get her out of my classroom now'.
Now you tell me that we are not
broken.
