• Kindergartner voted out by students in FL...

  I read this story on Cafemom and couldn't believe it.

  Read the story and be sure to send Alex a card because he is special

  To send Alex a card.

  Here are my thoughts on the issue:

  How horrible!!!  I am outraged!!!  It is hard enough to grow up with a self-esteem intact without having someone who is in charge tell a child all the things that are wrong with them, and then force other children to do the same and vote him out of his classroom.  Alex is not the only one who was emotionally abused.  What about the other 16 children in his class?  Are they not just as scarred from the incident?  They are only 5 & 6 and they have been directed to criticize their peer who was not "up to their standards".  What is this and why is this teacher not suspended?  This is yet another reason I homeschool.  I cannot trust the public school system to screen their teachers well enough to not allow crack pots like this one in.  I have to say it again, How horrible!!!
