you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.
as a teacher for kids with moderate disabilities and someone who is autistic, she needs to be fired. but also i agree because i'm going to meetings all the time to learn how to support kids...and then having to explain to my co-worker over and over and over again "no you can't call him lazy and give him a hard time he has an iep for a reason!!!"
the other teachers in positions similar to mine agree that the other teachers need to learn what we learn also because we are one person in a classroom and whats the point if the time we could be accommodating the student is taken up by explaining to the other teacher how and why we need to accommodate. and then they forget every single time so it's constantly reminding them!
also legally, i'm not sure where you are but where i'm from, refusal to provide accommodations that the school has AGREED to provide, is literally grounds for a law suit because if that's on an iep/504 that's a legal document that has to be followed accordingly
this didn't happen recently but I randomly remembered it
Teachers should be required to take classes to help them understand disabled or neurodivergent students because otherwise shit like this happens.
I have this one though that refused to let me have the accommodations the school set up for me (none are even that hard to do, I should be allowed to have one or two nondisruptive fidget toys, wear headphones, stand up/get up to walk for a moment, or go to another quiet class [usually the special ed teachers room bc she doesn't permanent students just helps every now and then with some students so her room is usually emtpy, or the counselors room]).
She also refused to let me go speak to the school counselor (I had to get out of that room and only place I could think to go was the counselor). I went to her after class (the counselor) to tell her what happened and when the teacher found out she was pissed.
I had lunch detention because of that and "being disrespectful" (I have autism and was too upset to mask so I spoke to her very flatly and directly). For detention she made me clean the gym floor, didn't let me use my headphones (this is while a gym class was actively happening) and because of me also trying to deal with the sensory stuff I was unable to finish and she called my mom who didn't answer.
I reminded her I needed to go to class and she said no then took me to the counselor. Where she yelled at me in front of her, apologized to the counselor for me "bothering her", yelled at me some more, then told the counselor what I did (very exaggerated and partly untrue) in class to deserve detention, yelled at me some more.
Obviously because of all this I ended up crying while she yelled at me and then she walked me to class, let me go in the bathroom to calm down but only gave me about 3 minutes before yelling that I need to come out because I'm wasting her prep time.
Maybe I was a little rude, but that morning my anxiety was really bad, I couldn't focus and just wanted to go to the other room to work, everyone was talking and she'd bought these fancy lights that hurt my eyes. I got out the infinity cube thing I had in my pocket and she game over and started yelling at me. I think that's reason enough to be slightly rude (most of my rudeness was unintentional though) and definitely not an excuse for her to do what she did.
To anyone who's read this far and experienced something like this or discrimination and refusal to accept that some people need more stuff than others, reblog with what you have to say.
My mom just told me its autism awareness month and I said "February was black history month, march was women's history month and April is autism awareness month... I got three months in a row all about me!"
there are gay bars and lesbian bars and then “normal” straight bars so i think there should be aroace bars where absolutely none of that happens and we can sit there and discuss warhammer lore instead
Imagine the girls in Hawkins seeing how the cute little meek Zombie Boy went away for 9 months somewhere far away, and then came back just in time for the apocalypse with his same personality, but now GLOWED THE HELL UP.
Imagine the girls going wild for him and Mike jealous AF.
"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.
