All teachers and school staff from my experience in the US are incredibly ableist They're no different than cops to me
Comment from : Jay Harkins

Faced disability discrimination as a student and employee I have Asperger’s, dyslexia and dyspraxia Asperger’s wasn’t diagnosed until after university graduation In primary school I was always treated like a naughty child, accused of never listening in class etc The bullying was also horrendous from other students and even from some of the teachers Whenever I told a teacher about someone name calling, attacking me, tripping me over etc I was always made to feel I started it High school and College wasn’t as bad, but noticed I was never invited to certain school trips Was never offered to do higher tier exams despite getting the highest marks possible on lower tiers brUniversity was great and was given a specialist dyslexic tutor to help with essay writing However had issues with particular lecturer who insulted me a few times on my speech Sometimes I have issues getting the right words out and she constantly made me feel bad about thisbrDuring my time at University I took up volunteering to work in Schools and had a great time It was decided I wanted to work as an Art technician / teaching assistant I have also did a few roles in the catering and reception side too After graduating and receiving a 1st I also had my diagnosis The school I volunteered for just dropped me like a ton of books, every time I applied for a position in a school, my applications were constantly rejected despite having the qualifications A lot of them were saying I needed another qualification I never heard of and wasn’t even in the job specifications

Thank you for speaking about this I am sharing your video with Head of Education Wales They failed to teach my daughter to read, write and spell Thanks to Dyslexic Thinking, which is now seen as a valuable skill by LinkedIn Business and the online Dictionary, I was able to use Kindness, Art and Music to make reading fun, not stressful Melody is now a Bookworm Quite an achievement, especially as 9 Million (State Educated) Adults are Illiterate in the UK brbrThey treated you really badly Education Systems have the unwillingness to learn Very ironic, they are not team players Too much Elite Academic Bullying going on brbrWe need a Kindness Qualification in Education and Government Services ♥️ brbrI would love to chat with you 😊👍

I thought these massive ignorance were only in third world countries It seems that people need massive awareness campaigns in order to know about how other people think and see the world and especially about learning disabilities

I love the idea of ableism- because as a first grade teacher with 23 students that's what my school is pushing I have two lovely students- one with Down Syndrome and another student who is legally blind but they don't have support staff for them I'm expected to create a curriculum for them as well as lesson plan for the whole class and be able to support them they way they deserve- with no direction or support I work very hard to try to do what needs to be done but we all suffer - my extra planning and supporting, my SEND students who don't always have access to me when they need it and the rest of the class when I have to take more time with my two SEND students That's on top of the fact that my entire class is ESL and I teach all subjects in English only Even just a little help would make the world of difference - but they have left it entirely up to me because they think it's the same as just making it easier

Hi! I am shocked that this happened to you here in the UK I hope that was in the past and today it does not happen anymore Thanks for sharing! 🤗

I am an autistic person and while I've always been accepted, it does sometimes infuriate me to see people using autism is an insult, joking about it, and generally not taking it seriously There needs to be more focus on disabilities and ableism - for the latter, I've had a teacher who taught Learning for Life and Work who didn't even know what it was Brilliant video

Thank you so much for this video, I hope it goes viral! What would your advice be to parents who come up against school staff who say there is a lack of funding to make reasonable adjustments? X
