Whether or not there are programs for special needs kids is beyond the point, what that teacher did was terrible and she should be barred from teaching for the rest of her life, if she had a problem there are other ways to handle it.
I can see your point but keep in mind that most teachers aren’t trained to handle special needs kids and most administrations are pretty retarded when it comes to common sense judgements. I’m not trying to make excuses for the teacher, her actions were far from making any sense, but I’m sure there’s more to the story than what’s being told. She may have tried to handle it in other ways, such sides to this type of story are often omitted to spicen the outrage.
