Talk:Case Study: Middle School Bullying/@comment-26546063-20150803014630

Sean,

I definitely think you did the right thing by observing and pulling the chid to the side to explain what he said was inappropriate. Showing him a video based on speech impairments and such was something I almost wish the elementary schools would all do as part of the classroom curriculum at some point. As Brittany says, it's very saddening to see this happening. Some of the children who have the impairment end up isolated and/or made fun of or bullied. And the teachers can't be all places at one time. I do think it's a parental and educator responsibility to teach your own child about children that may have an impairment before your child starts school, and then continue the conversation each year.
