The teacher did not deal with the student in a compassionate, professional way. No argument there. Note that this incident of student-shaming occurred in MAY. The teacher had been dealing with this behavior all year, and was at the end of her rope. The child had been behaving like this all year, and by October , if not earlier, it should have been obvious that something had to be done. The school district is at fault for not having i) a plan for the teacher to deal with that problematic child and/or ii) for not having an aide to help the teacher with the special-needs child.
