agreed. it sounded like he rehearsed it several times. that insincere tone he had annoyed the hell out of me.
He could've at least made it seem a bit more candid; an emotional tone would've delivered what he said a bit more better.
Still, it's sad to see a kid, of his circumstances, being mistreated like this.

Of course it does. Love for the people close to you will make you want to protect or help them even if, like FoxSC, you believe in "survival of the fittest." I was saying that Senjai's rhetorical question didn't prove anything except that Fox probably values his family more than his values.
When people say "weakness" in this context they don't just mean physically weak, by the way. Weakness, in the broadest sense, is the incapability of doing something, which is why I pointed that out.
By the way, how does your post have anything to do with what I said? Unless you also believe in "survival of the fittest", it's irrelevant (though I'm sorry to hear about your mom).

We define ourselves as different from animals. We don't poop in each other's gardens. Survival of the fittest has changed and is irrelevant in an advanced civilization. If it's bad, then how come we build space rockets and tigers are almost extinct?
We established our supremacy over other species with technology, byproducts of our intellect. As technology has progressed and made our lives less demanding, less physical effort has been required to survive, which has led to us becoming physically weaker over the years but more intelligent. Thanks to our reliance on technology, unfavorable genes are more likely to survive.
Survival of the fittest has definitely not become irrelevant, though. All of the skills and and traits that are beneficial to success in modern civilization are become more and more emphasized over things that used to be crucial like physical strength.

What happens in nature is apparently the strong take care of the weak, file lawsuits, get people fired, and/or simply demand a public apology. Also nature apparently would have it that you would make a post on this website that demonstrates your lack of understanding.
Fitness is a combination of survivability and reproduction. Survival of the fittest refers not to specific individuals, but whole species. That the kid is alive today and will live on shows that he is at least well-suited to his environment, with the environment of course including his father. As you can see, applying fitness to our contemporary humans doesn't have interesting results.

Not sure why this has gone viral. Yeah, she was inappropriate, rude, and not a very good teacher. On the other hand, someone was fired over it, the rest of the teachers seemed to receive some disciplinary action, and the behavior she displayed probably wouldn't even make the top 100 of terrible teachers for the year. Being a special needs teacher is also probably one of the hardest jobs in the world.

It makes me feel like he wasn't confident enough with the damning nature of the audio. I wonder why he wasn't, it seems pretty damning to me by itself. :\

It was your "Inability is borne of weakness" that set me off I think. It is amazing to me how ignorant American society is sometimes. Some blame can probably be put on Christian conservatism, seeing the disabled as "cursed" or some such nonsense. The fascist condemnation of genetic imperfections and diabilities of this country set me off into a rage.
Now take into consideration that I have multiple sleeping disorders, which drain my energy and keep me from being productive in society. Unlike my mother, it is not a "physical" disability which I might be able to have some kind of control over and can put an effort to fight against.

Let me correct this : it is unwise to vocalize unpopular and unthought opinions, because he obviously has a very simplistic approach of the matter.

This is actually ridiculous. The fact that a teacher would do this is not so surprising to me, teachers are put under tremendous stress and are after all, people. And they make mistakes, even if they are consistent. That however does not excuse the action, I signed the petition because I think that she should be fired. She obviously isn't cut out to work with children, especially mentally disabled ones. I feel bad for her class.
What does surprise me, however, is how the union and/or principle and/or board of education reacted to the wire. They could easily listen to voices in real life and determine whether or not it is her. Alternatively, they themselves could wire the room for a day and listen in, if they don't believe it (assuming that's why she's not fired). But the fact that they are so reluctant to talk to Akian's parents or to do anything about this is truly what's surprising to me.
I hope something's done about this.

Based on my personal experiences, a lot of teachers in classrooms don't have the emotional capacity to teach. They may have the qualifications and the skills to teach cirriculum, but dealing with children? No. Especially those with handicaps.

Now take into consideration that I have multiple sleeping disorders, which drain my energy and keep me from being productive in society. Unlike my mother, it is not a "physical" disability which I might be able to have some kind of control over and can put an effort to fight against. I haven't heard anyone suggest that the disabled are cursed O_o I'll take your word for it though. That's a ridiculous stance, but then again, for a religious person, that's not so far fetched. Let's avoid the religion topic though. See my post on the first page for the story in Arizona.
Glad I don't live in one of those places. I've heard that some areas in the US don't teach evolution or other "offensive" things in school.

Based on my personal experiences, a lot of teachers in classrooms don't have the emotional capacity to teach. They may have the qualifications and the skills to teach cirriculum, but dealing with children? No. Especially those with handicaps.
The field of teaching the mentally disabled is one that burns people out pretty quickly. It's tough, because they need to be extremely patient, and then they have to deal with the fact that regardless of what they do, the kids will still be retarded. Going out of your way to bully a student is a whole different story, though.

What makes this case different from every other case out there? (that he got it on tape?)
Mentally handicapped people are being bullied pretty much in every city in the united states.
We shouldn't look at this as a specific case, but look at the general population

I'm positive I heard about this thing several months ago (nearly exact same story) or is this a completely different occurence? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

It often takes specific cases to make people really look at things. But I agree with you. It's unfortunate
