The mother of a first-grader with autism who uses a service dog is challenging a decision that the girl must change schools because her teacher is allergic to dog dander. http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/education/dander-dilemma-teachers-allergy-athen-ohio-girls-service-dog-at-odds I mean the nerve of that teacher, That teacher should just quit her job and commit seppuku for being so disgraceful to the teaching profession. Money grubbing bitch, she's only a teacher because she wants summers off and couldn't pass anything else in college.

The news site posted it to their Facebook page, and I'll be damned its like an ARFCOM reunion where all the mouthbreathers are crucifying the teacher saying:
1) She should just suck it up as she is there to SERVE the child 2) She just take a Claritin 3) She should quit 4) The school should move the teacher, not kid 5) blah blah blah blah Basically 150+ replies stating the above. Here's what I think, why disrupt all of the other children because of one? It would be more disrupting to the entire class to move the teacher versus the student. While the school district does have to make accommodations for service related dogs IE: Blind. They don't for 'therapy' dogs. They also don't have to make accommodations at THAT school, as long as its in district and the district does the bussing they have met their requirements. The same people above slamming the teacher, would be the same ones crying their child has a peanut allergy so they school must be a peanut free zone. |

At least in IL some recent court cases would suggest that you have to give the autism dog as much leeway as a seeing eye dog.

Service dog is for disabilities, including autism, and performs some function for its person. Therapy dog visits nursing homes, hospitals, abused children and such. They are NOT the same thing, and the disability does not have to be visually apparent to the casual observer. It can be anything from diabetes to seizures, to autism, to deafness, to blindness. |

Meh. I doubt the special snowflake really needs the dog and his parents just never learned to tell him no. I refer you to the dreadful autism thread we had a couple days ago. If the "special snowflake" was a holy terror without the dog, and could maintain his shit with the dog, don't you think the dog might be considered worthwhile? |

's only a teacher because she wants summers off and couldn't pass anything else in college. When I went to college this was absolutely the case. I think it was different long ago, and I think there are some great people who truly want to teach, but the education program at my school was well known as a vocational school for low IQ females. But, if the government is going to make school compulsory, they need to accommodate all of the children over accommodating the government employees. Move the teacher to another class/school or shitcan her/him. When you get in the game of using threat of force to make someone do something you have lost the high ground in the argument. I have zero sympathy for the teacher in this one. The government made its bed, let it lie in it. |
for the entire New "service" animal madness.

Also it is very hard to find good Autism teachers. Can't just replace them on a whim. Also federal law says the child should receive a free and public education. She will at the new school. Longer bus ride sucks for the girl, but hardly the worst thing I've seen in sepcial ed. |
| Poor teachers already suffering by only making $70,000 a year and a small co pay for a long 8 month school year. Next you have to add in the fact every teacher in the US suffers financialy by spending half their salary on pencils and paper according to every teacher I've ever heard and and, meh fuck her she's probably in the Commie fucking NEA, I'll go with the kid on this one. |

So much better...

No, just saying that if schooling is compulsory, AND there is a voucher system, I would try to use it. I know additional money would likely have to be supplied. I just think that if a government takes your money at the point of a gun, and tell you your children MUST go to school at the point of a gun, and that in order to go to a certain school you must have a residence in a certain district, and you set up residence in that district, only for the school to say that your child will be bussed to another district because a Government employee has a health issue, there is a problem. The problem is NOT with the child (or the dog). The problem is with the Government employee. Fix the problem, not the child. |

So if you worked in an office setting and was highly allergic to dogs and a new-hire brought a service dog your company should fire you? Youre confusing what a 'district' is. Hell most districts offer some sort of school choice or force crosstown busing now, you know for the whole integration thing. The district as a whole has to service the child, not every school, and not the nearest school to your residence either. Not every school is setup to service every disability, IE not every school has an EBD class, or severe and profound class, or a visually impaired class. Honestly its people like you, and think you like, which is why this country is so fucked up. "I want it my way, and I demand it my way right now" |

What about the other autistic students the teacher has built a rapport with? Say you do move the teacher. Another teacher will have to be moved to replace her. What about that teacher's students that they have built a rapport with. Look at it this way. The child will get the education and supports regardless. Do you move two people, or give the kid a bus ride that lasts a few minutes longer? |

Every year I see them mainstreaming more kids into the school system that have no business being in the general population. Kids with behavior issues so severe that they pose a threat to classmates and teachers because parents don't want to face the facts. |

I would say that it is Government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong that has this nation so fucked up. If I were to go to a private business and yell "I want it my way, and I demand it my way right now," I would wholeheartedly support the business owner who told me to get fucked. But public education isn't a private business. Would I get special consideration if I were a fair skinned redhead trying to make a career as a lifeguard? A vegan PETA member butcher? A river guide that is scared of water? A construction worker afraid of heights? A food scientist with no sense of taste? Nope. I would get shitcanned, and rightfully so. But, a Government employee has an allergy so we then change the child's circumstances instead of the employee's. Fucking brilliant. Fuck it. Just give me my full 20 minutes. I want off. |

The entire position of the Government employee exists, in theory, to serve the public. The public is heterogeneous. If a Government employee can't deal with a heterogeneous group, then it is the employee's problem, not the public's. |

I'm in my mid thirties now, but back when I was in high school, they had some "troubled" kids that should have never been around normal people. There was on in an elective class that I took that one day didn't show back up for class. We later learned that she had finally snapped and attempted to stab her mother to death with a pair of scissors. Thankfully, the day she finally snapped, she was at home and not at school. |

If a private school did accept her, the home district could still be held financially liable for meeting her IEP requirements... Additionally, public school districts typically provide personnel to provide SPED services to identified students attending private schools (non-private SPED institutions). |

The teacher is there to teach every student in that class. Moving the student changes things for one student. Moving the teacher changes things for every student. Quoted:

Honestly its people like you, and think you like, which is why this country is so fucked up. Well, if that isn't a personal attack then I guess I don't know what a personal attack is. I can roll with it. I really don't care. But I do care when a Government entity feels entitled to boss around those it serves. The entire position of the Government employee exists, in theory, to serve the public. The public is heterogeneous. If a Government employee can't deal with a heterogeneous group, then it is the employee's problem, not the public's. The teacher is there to teach every student in that class. Moving the student changes things for one student. Moving the teacher changes things for every student. A perfectly good way of thinking, for a PRIVATE school. |

No, just saying that if schooling is compulsory, AND there is a voucher system, I would try to use it. I know additional money would likely have to be supplied. I just think that if a government takes your money at the point of a gun, and tell you your children MUST go to school at the point of a gun, and that in order to go to a certain school you must have a residence in a certain district, and you set up residence in that district, only for the school to say that your child will be bussed to another district because a Government employee has a health issue, there is a problem. The problem is NOT with the child (or the dog). The problem is with the Government employee. Fix the problem, not the child. Quoted:

When I went to college this was absolutely the case. I think it was different long ago, and I think there are some great people who truly want to teach, but the education program at my school was well known as a vocational school for low IQ females. But, if the government is going to make school compulsory, they need to accommodate all of the children over accommodating the government employees. Move the teacher to another class/school or shitcan her/him. When you get in the game of using threat of force to make someone do something you have lost the high ground in the argument. I have zero sympathy for the teacher in this one. The government made its bed, let it lie in it. The teacher didn't choose to be allergic...
Also it is very hard to find good Autism teachers. Can't just replace them on a whim. Also federal law says the child should receive a free and public education. She will at the new school. Longer bus ride sucks for the girl, but hardly the worst thing I've seen in sepcial ed. I see Ohio has a voucher program. I don't know the details, but if I were the mother I would take advantage of it and send the kid to private school. You mean a group home? A private school doesn't have to accept the window licker or the dog. The benfits of teaching in private schools, is you don't have to deal with the shitheads.
