What is it like being a special education teacher? Being a special
education teacher is the hardest, but most rewarding job in the whole universe.
But not all are really good and can be rewarded because there are special
education teachers who show negative behavior and it is really awful. Perhaps
in educational capability, they are certified but not qualified in handling students
with special needs.
I know a certain special education teacher with bad attitude, not only
with his students but with her fellow teachers, too. The way she treats her students
is totally unfair and unequal. I don’t know if she’s practicing favoritism. Or maybe it is because the
students could not follow her instructions. But doesn’t she know that it is
unlawful for a special education teacher to discriminate against students with
special needs? This can also be called harassment.
Teacher Perfectionist, you must know that students with disabilities can’t cope up easily with
the tasks you give to them. They might not be able to comply to what you would like them to do. Have you forgotten that they are not regular individuals? Not unless, you're out of your mind. So, do not raise your voice at them
for they will be more unable to concentrate on what they are doing particularly on
their rehearsals for the Sped Musical show.
And PLEASE, do not compare my child with other students. This sort of thinking or action promotes discrimination against my child. You must
understand that he doesn’t have a choice about his disability but you
definitely have a choice how you accept him.
Bear
this in your narrow mind, all children
develop differently and this is absolutely true for special needs individuals.
Just focus on what my child can do and it may help lessen your stress. Believe
me, this is 100% guaranteed! Baka
sakaling mabago pa po yan ‘napakaganda ninyong pag-uugali.
You are not supposed to teach and handle students with
disabilities because you don’t understand what special education is all about.
