I don't know how many of you saw the story in 2008 of Alex Barton who was *voted out of his kindergarten class* with the teacher providing the horrible experiences.

This was the original story
Teacher lets Morningside students vote out classmate, 5 » TCPalm.com

The teacher humiliated a 5 year old with autism by having the students vote him out of class survivor style.

She was suspended and her tenure revoked, but that did not last long. The school board reinstated her and she is now teaching at a middle school in the same district. Now for the new story.

Teacher who kicked 5 year old autistic out of class now refused to wear mike for deaf child - National special education | Examiner.com

She refused to wear a mike for her hearing impaired student as specified in the girl's IEP. She may have worn it sometimes. The complaint does not specify. Nor does it say which of the three teachers laughed sarcastically at the girl, but one of them did (my suspicion is the Portillo woman given her behavior with the K student, but I have no evidence of that).

The board is only going to be required to *retrain* the teachers. Imo, this is NOT enough. Parents, please write to the school and the board and let them know that this is not acceptable. These teachers need to be removed from working with children. Wendy Portillo has already harmed at least two children and who knows how much other damage she may be doing if this is her normal method of interacting with her students.
