So.
Today at school, we found out that our normal art teacher for the children won't be able to teach the art class from now on due to a schedule change. That's all well and good. Our new teacher (I'll call her Ms. Goldenrod) decided that she would do that art class instead. Okay, that's all well and good.
So art time comes around and this is how it starts:
"So what season's coming up next, everyone? :D"
"...Summer."
"No, spring! :D"
"...But it's already spring."
"Right, so spring's coming! :D"
And from there, it just kept going down. She basically had them take their initials, choose something springlike that starts with that letter and make a really basic poster. A kindergarten assignment.
Now, I know these kids are supposed to be "disabled". But they are actually very intelligent. They just learn more slowly than other kids. And they were pretty insulted by having to do that today. Honestly, I can't blame them. They already have it kinda rough being in a special class when they feel that they're just as normal as everyone else. I know Ms. Goldenrod's heart was in the right place, but I don't think she's realized that about him. I personally think that she was at an elementary school before she came to us and that mindset, coupled with the fact that to most people, developmentally disabled = mind of a child, so that's what's probably leading to the current issue.
Powers bless her, but if she keeps pulling things like that, those kids are going to start to act very unfriendly toward her and it's all really downhill from there. >>;
