He will bear this scar for the rest of his life and she should pay for her mistake, at the very least her teaching credentials should be revoked and she should never again be allowed to work in a school. That said, the parents also deserves a big share of the blame. Why was this child in that class to start with? It doesn't take a rocket scientist (which his parents are clearly not) to see that any 5-year old with numerous visits to the principals office has a problem. Sorry, but 5-year olds rarely visit the principal. The parents need to wake up and provide the care their child needs The teacher was clearly wrong to subject this child to this humiliation.

Constitutional rights etc. I am the father of an autistic 7 year old, it isnt easy but we have not only had to teach him but also every one else including the school system that has no idea what autism is. This teacher should not be able to teach any more. if this was done to a "normal" child, heads would roll , not to mention the stigma that the child would cary the rest of their life. Every one needs to read up on autism , it is a spectrum disorder. Some children are so severe they cant talk or move , others are very high functioning and may be termed ecentric or genius.

Teacher's know that they are protected under there union and therefore are less accountable for there actions. Im sure if she would have done this without the excistence of a union she wouldnt make it past the first newspaper article.

I'd like to hug them and congradulate their parents for raising exceptionally kind children. I'd like to slap the teacher. Really. Physically slap her. I'd like to see her have to stand in front of the school board and have all the parents tell her what they don't like about her. I’d like to know who the 2 who voted for the child to stay were.

I really feel bad for the other kids because they were placed in an uncomfortable situation. The teacher didn't want extra work. My son is ADHD. The school went above and beyond to make him feel special. He has done great. He was treated with medication. We also did behavior modification. This young man is going to sail high.
