Student Attacks and Knocks out Florida Teacher

[Sigblitz]

It was on a tv news report interview...

I didn't see that coming. Juvenile and special needs. But I also wondered if the 'rehabilitation' would go away when he's 18.

Looks like for now he is charged as an adult with $1M dollar bail.

I don't understand, what record needs set straight? I don't care she took away his Nintendo, cell phone, or his kitten, nothing at all justified that beating.

Also, I'm so old that an “exceptional student” meant the exact opposite.

From the article:
"Depa is considered behaviorally disabled and requires specially designed instruction and related services as a so-called “exceptional student.”"

Huh. "Exceptional student" used to mean something totally different when I was in school. Now apparently it means "POS thug".

We couldn't say "retarded" so we [changed] it "special education" but not that's taboo, I guess, so we've redefined "exceptional".


Any one want to guess what's next in the line?

We all know what it means so this game of vocabulary is just plain retarded.

Wow, if that’s what they call an exceptional student nowadays, I guess I was a full blown retard in school!

Maybe I should sue somebody, I was clearly discriminated against for my asshattery…errr, disability.

 

[BigRed]

I would say he is an exceptional thug in need of exceptional aim.

 

[littletommy]

Lol! Jetta used the “R” word before me.

We couldn't say "retarded" so we traveled it "special education" but not that's taboo, I guess, so we've redefined "exceptional".

When I was in grade school, sometimes we'd have fights between the "regular" kids and the "retardos" (I know - it's unkind, but that's what we called them back in the 60's). Some of them were older, bigger and stronger than us "regular" kids, so it was a serious deal. Back then, Down's Syndrome kids were called "Mongoloids". One of the toughest, meanest kids was a "Mongoloid".

Spread the word to save the R-word

From the NYTimes article: "The troubled teen has a violent past and was arrested three times for simple battery in 2019."

Regardless of his functional abilities what is he doing in a school that is not trained or equipped to handle him?

They’re legally required to service him until 21(in Indiana at least, other states may have different rules). Special needs students can stay enrolled in public schools until 21 and the school
Must make accommodations for them.

The city didn't pass a ballot measure to fund the "special" school, so they were lumped in with the rest of the kids

That happens everywhere.

Yep. If only we spent more on... (Insert noun)

That’s pretty much how special Ed works. They don’t ship kids off to special schools.

When I was teaching, I had parents fight to get their kids 'qualified' as special needs, so they could receive the additional help from the school, in many cases, just so they didn't have the extra work at home with their child.
It used to be a negative 'stigma' to be in special education...now, for some, it's a desired status.

Just as many people treat having mental illness as a badge of honor.
