I was in education myself for 10 years. Both high school and college. I NEVER treated a kid the way this prick treats these kids. And, at the risk of sounding like one of those parents who says 'it's never my child', this particular school population is comprised of a particularly nice bunch. I know. Most of them have been at my house at one time or another (and unfortunately, I'm not kidding)

I had an administrator my last year of teaching high school who was so pissed that I was finished with my doctorate he essentially tortured me. At least, that is the only thing I can come up with. I always had glowing reviews, etc., but anytime I made any kind of a suggestion about a policy or something, he jumped down my throat. He ALWAYS took the kids' side over me, not that there were that many times I sent anyone to him, which is why I remember.

It's just plain, flat out bullying and it enrages me. Nothing pisses me off worse than an adult using their supposed 'power' over a child. The worst was at my kids' elementary school where there 'used' to be a teacher's aide who was brutal to the special needs kids.

I would go up to the cafeteria just to watch her interact, I documented everything and I got her transferred.

Something is wrong with a woman who has Trustn1 and faithn1 on her cars and is nasty to a child with Down Syndrome.
