Stuart Chaifetz, a New Jersey dad whose son suffers from a mental disability was shocked to hear some of the things that the teachers of the school that his son was attending were saying in front of the children. When the teachers at Stuarts son Akian school were saying that Akian was having violent outbursts at school Stuart knew something was not right so he sent Akian to school wearing a wire to record what was going on inside the classroom. After one day of recording Stuart discovered that the two teachers that were in charge of the special needs class at the school were verbally abusing the students throughout the day. Discussion between the two teachers included conversations about their alcohol abuse and sex lives. The teachers were able to get away with this because they knew none of the students in the class had the capability of going home and telling their parents what was going on in class. After posting the audio to YouTube Stuarts actions brought this to the attention of the school board and the two teachers were obviously fired from their positions.
What these two teachers have done is pretty disgraceful. Taking advantage of disabled children should result in bigger punishment than them simply losing their job. Stuarts actions should be rewarded as he has started the reinvention of some special needs programs in order to give the children the care and schooling they deserve.
