Kindergartner Voted Out By Students


Port St. Lucie, Fla., mother is outraged and considering legal action after her son's kindergarten teacher led his classmates to vote him out of class.

Melissa Barton says Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had her son's classmates say what they didn't like about 5-year-old Alex. She says the teacher then had the students vote, and voted Alex, who is being evaluated for Asperger's syndrome -- an autism spectrum disorder -- out of the class by a 14-2 margin.

Excedrin relieves headaches but on the downside it gives you painful bowel movents

Also Starring LeVar Burton

That is horrible. How can someone do that?
Poor kid.
That teacher should be locked up.

connundrum

That's democracy for ya.

However, hope the teacher never gets a job again after this. I also hope that the mother doesn't go looking for financial compensation for it though.

She could do that without the child on her lap. His pic was cute enough for more of a sympathy vote.

The kid should have canvassed before the vote.

His classmates didn't think so :pac:

I know it's horrible, but it is kinda funny! Teacher should have had a public vote though : there's surely uglier children there who could have been kicked out instead

Excellent. Wished life was like that.

The comparison with Al Quaeda was hilarious mind.

S.I.R

how did that teacher get qualified ?

BobTheBeat

When Natural Selection fails.....

JangoFett

Wow that teacher obviously has some issues that need to be dealt with

What kind of adult gets children, who won't like someone for silly reasons, to vote on who stays in the class

I can imagine it now

Reporter: "So Sarah, why did you vote little Timmy from your class?"
Little Sarah: "Cuz he's a big stinky head and he has cooties!"

Children are retarded.

Toto Wolfcastle

I would have voted the teacher out. Her face could cause depression At least the child has the 'Aww' factor.

sunnyjim

I want to hear the other side of the story.

I have a feeling we hearing **** from her to be honest.

Nothing to do with the 'American school system'. Remember the British schoolteacher arrested in Sudan earlier this year for asking the kids waht name to give a teddybear, organising a vote, and going with what the kids wanted ?

RATM

I hope she held a secret ballot. Otherwise it doesn't conform with democracy very well:D

kelle

Don't think you should be blaming Reality TV for this fiasco, just the teacher who has a f**ked up mind. Hope she loses her job.

Jesus, that teacher should never teach again.
