We are broken






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.
