What I don’t understand is if she can’t bring her walker to school how will she move around? Does Mr. Lemley want Lakay to crawl around? In my opinion, I feel that most school boards are in serious need of adjustment when it comes to disabilities. Back when I was in High School I had a lot of grief dealing with some teachers. The fact is that they did not have a lot of information on how to teach someone with a physical or learning disability.
Mrs. Roberts had asked if the other children fall do they take away their shoes. Which I think is a great point. They need their shoes to move about just like Lakay needs her walker. Lemley replies to her question with “No, ma'am, they're not using walkers.” That statement was pro discrimination. It appears to me that the school is not really accepting of disabled children.

A lot of "Education" is needed by schools and school boards in regards to meeting the needs of "all" their students. There are still so many unacceptable situations.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that one! I had so much difficulty dealing with teachers in high school. It was almost unbearable!
