¿Question #219910?
PolarDad: Hadn't raised my voice at a coworker in about a decade until today. I was in a group of coworkers when one teacher started lecturing on how all students with special needs should be "kept in a room at the end of the hall where we can't see them and we don't know their names." I was in shock. I thought it might be a tasteless joke but I realized that he was being serious. I first tried to calmly correct him...then warn him that he could be fired for saying that but he kept going and talking over me. I raised my voice and told him to just stop speaking and then I left the room. What kind of educator thinks such things, much less says them out loud to others?!

Inkedad: Ooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain. And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet but you don't want to visit, let alone live there.
Jedadeana: Yikes! That's horrible :0( Thank you for trying to correct him. I am glad you talked to the administrator about this
pricero1: To be charitable, he might have had a bad day in the classroom, but it is totally unacceptable behaviour / behavior in any educator.
RealGuest: I have a hard time believing he wasn't trolling you. Because it is unbelievable behavior.
Woelf: One that shouldn't be an educator.
rayzg: I think that there are many burned out teachers, but it's still no excuse to say those things out loud.
Fribian: That's really a shame! Poor kids. I gotta wonder how people like that end up "educating" others?
pwilz: Unfortunately, I would guess a lot of them. You didn't do anything wrong though.
0Shea0: Uhg heartless, I would be shaking. Thankyou for speaking up. Hopefully some fruit will be borne of it.
PolarDad: And yes, I have already discussed it with our administrator.
