I recall the nuns thought I was a moron, and even went so far as telling my poor mother that she should take me out of gradeschool and teach me a simple trade because that was all I could handle. But they never engaged in the poor behavior shown by these teachers. They always were kind to me in class and never let on that they felt I was as dumb as a box of rocks.
My parents didn’t accept that I was stupid and shopped around till they found a school which didn’t think I was headed for a life of shoe shining. Of course they never told me that my teachers thought I was dumb until after I got my engineering masters degree.
It seems that our educational specialists have lost that sense of professionalism that protected them and the kids from mistakes in judgement.
