End of Days

Alex Barton

What the hell is this world coming to? 5 year old Alex Barton got “voted” out of his class in a move led by none other than the classroom teacher:

‘[The teacher] took him and stood him in front of his classmates this week, asked every single child to tell Alex why [they] don’t like him… (in his words) “tell Alex why we hate him”,’ explained Ms. Barton. After having each child ridicule the boy, she says the teacher continue belittling him.

Ms. Barton went on to say, ‘Then they had a vote on if he deserved to stay in the class or not.’ Like a twisted reality show, Barton says in a 14-2 vote his classmates voted the five year old out of the classroom.”

It’s frankly obscene that a so-called teacher would even think of pulling some sh*t like that. Not that we condone violence or anything, but that’s a mf that deserves to catch a beat down – straight up.

    this is very disturbing I mean really……

  • Kim

    I KNOW THIS IS VERY VERY DISTURBING AND D AND IMMATURE OF THE S-CALLED TEACHER TO BEHAVE THIS WAY

    Thats horrible. My 9 year old is really sensitive and if he came home and told me some stuff like this it wouldnt be pretty

  • corey

    Yep! She needs a serious ass beat down. If she was having a problem with him and he was having a problem getting along with students, she should have talked to his parents and the principal so that they could come together with a solution. Not call him out in front of his classmates like that. She lucky that was not my child. Stupid teacher, no wonder why kids are not learning anything in school. And doing that kind of stuff to kids at a young age, is what makes them grow up to be a menace to society. *SMH*

    Exactly. The kid is only freakin 5. WTF

  • justareader

    that’s sad, imagine what that did to him mentally. even if he was bad as hell, that doesn’t give the teacher the right to let the classroom kick him out. she probabley brainwashed the kids to do something like that.

  • Nikole

    I teach first grade and I have been physically abused by a 6 year old all year long. While he is kicking and punching me, I am supposed to keep my hands off of him. I wish I could have had the class vote on whether or not we could kick him out. I have had several kids this year say they don’t want him in the class and I have to half-heartedly reprimand them for saying such mean things. Kids are not like they used to be. No one acted like that in my class when I was in first grade.

  • I’m Just Me

    ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS…is she still teaching. She needs to be out of the classroom. What are the parents saying? OMG! What kind of foolishness is this. I would f*ck her up hardbody if this was my child. SHE NEEDS TO BE OUT OF A JOB! Where did he go then? To another class or what? WTF?

  • african_4_eva

    I have a story to tell…

    In grade school, 3rd grade to be exact (Atlanta, GA), I had a similar experience.

    My family and I recently moved from Canada to Atlanta, GA. I still had a Canadian accent and wasn’t accustom to the African-American culture of Atlanta…before then, all I had known was my Nigerian and surronding Carribean culture…

    So, one day, my teacher called me up to the front of the class and asked me, “Why do you talk so funny? Why do you sound so white? Why is your hair like that?”…this encouraged my classmates to ask more cruel and embarrasing questions like, “Why do Africans smell?” and “Speak African for us!”

    Now being the grown woman that I am, I wonder why would an adult do this to a child AND allow the ranting and raving to continue?

    Thankfully, I was raised in a family of faith and have since forgiven her for that day. So, all I can do is pray for this boy…and his teacher.

  • Kay

    On the Today show this morning, his parents said he is getting tested for Autism and the teacher knew….

  • bree

    LMMFAO..he must’ve been a torrent..that teacher has some serious balls-i hope she has some cash stashed cuz her ass about to FIRED!!

    WOW!!! Thats terrible. I’m glad it didnt emotionally scar you

  • sj

    I’m all for the teacher in this case. He was disruptive to the whole class. He is a bad a** 5 year old. What about the other 25 or so kids in the class? Why should they have to put up with his bad a** when they are there to learn. I would be mad if this brat was interupting my childs education on a daily basis. The parents needs to keep their special kid home until he learns how to act in public. Teachers are there to teach, not to babysit bad kids.

  • I’m Just Me
  • sj

    When I was in school, the special kids had a special room where they can act as wild and special as they like, with the door closed and the shade pulled down all day. Maybe his parent should look into special education for their special kid.

  • I’m Just Me

    HE HAS ASPERGER’S SYNDROME…AKA HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM….HE IS SICK!!! HE NEEDS TO BE IN A SPECIAL NEEDS SETTING, YES….BUT THE DISTRICT MUST DO THEIR PART AND SET HIM UP WITH TESTING AND THEN DECIDE IF HE NEEDS TO BE SEPARATED OR INTEGRATED. IF INTERGRATED THEN THAT MEANS HE CAN BE IN A CLASSROOM WITH “NORMAL” KIDS!

    Ok thats fine and all but come on you dont humiliate a 5 year old like that. You send his azz out of the class room, the way this teacher handeled this was totally unprofessional and childish

    Oh HELL no! If that were my child I honestly would have NO problem kickin’ this woman’s arse. That sorry excuse for a teacher has no idea what sort of long term issues she MAY have created for that child, SMDH!

    @ SJ….YOU F*CKING MORON!!! IT IS UP TO THE DISTRICT AFTER THEY DO TESTING….SOME KIDS DO WELL IN AN INTEGRATED SETTING…DO YOU THINK IT WAS NICE OR PRODUCTIVE FOR THE KIDS TO BE IN A ROOM ACTING A FOOL WITH THE SHADES DOWN. WHAT IF THAT KID IN THAT ROOM CAME BACK AS AN ADULT AND SHOT YOUR FACE OFF BECAUSE HE DIDN’T LEARN ANY SOCIAL SKILLS ALL HIS LIFE FROM BEING PLACED IN A CLASSROOM SETTING LIKE THE ONE YOU DESCRIBE ….THE BEST WAY TO TEACH THE SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN ARE TO GIVE THEM RULES AND STRUCTURE NOT HAVE THEM RUNNING AMOK!!! SOUNDS LIKE YOUR STUPID A$$ NEED TO BE IN A ROOM WITH THE SHADES DOWN AND THE LIGHTS OFF YOU IGNORANT MOTHER F*CKER!

    @It’s just Me…

    It’s evident your not a parent.You learn social skills before you get to school. His parents should have had him tested before he even got to school. He has a school record of having behavior issues. That alone is cause for him to be away from the kids who want to learn. I still say keep his bad a** at home unitl he can interact with the public. He was disruptive the learning process of the whole class. Why should all the other kids suffer because this bad kids parents are too selfish to admit he has a problem.

  • sj

    @M-Daddy

    The mental problem is all the more reason for him to be in the proper setting. I have a cousin with autisim and the signs were pretty clear long before he started school. So his mom had the proper testing and placement for him from day one at school. Reality can be a bit much for some to swallow but if he has issues, that still should not become everyones issue. I guess it would be alright if he hurt one of the other kids while acting out… because he has issues…WRONG. I just say the parents are in denial.

    I totally agree with you about that, but you have to admit this was not the way this was to be delt with. This teacher is totally out of line in her way of dealing with this child

  • Southern Belle 225

    let me clarify what i said above…NO one gets their child tested if their is not obvious reason too. Some kids that are autistic or whatever don’t always have “symptons” that can be easily identified. There are different degrees of every mental and physical illness. There are some that can function just fine without any help and there are ones that can only function with help.

    That is really sad. You would think you being from another country that the teacher would encourage the other children to broaden their minds to want to know positive things about your culture.

  • african_4_eva

    @ M-DADDY

    Yeah, it is sad. If anything, I worry about my classmate. I wonder what kind of young adults they’ve grown to be…at such a young age, they were taught that it was okay to taunt others because of their differences.

    I only hope that they became uplifting citizens…I know I did. Maybe that’s why I’m so passionate to those that have been ostracized by society.

    Kids can be so cruel but for an educator to encourage such behavior is terrible. Not only should that teacher not be allowed to teach anybodys child, that person doesnt need to have children of their own

  • mandingo

    The teacher was definitely wrong for the way she handled it. However, like other people have said, she probably just hit her breaking point. At least she didn’t pull out her belt and beat his a@@. Parents need to wake up and understand that teachers are there to teach and not baby sit kids that have issues. It’s no suprise that our kids are not learning when they have others that continue to disrupt the whole class with their bad behaviour. However, the teacher should have gotten together with the principal and the mother and had the kid removed from the class behind the scenes.

  • Rainbow Brite

    While, I agree that the teacher should have handled the situation totally different, the boy probably should have been in special education classes in which the teachers are trained how to handle children with autism. The teacher and students were probably at their wits end and reacted out.

    If a 5 year old can make an Adult reach a breaking point to where this is her only solution to deal with the child, then that adult should not teach small children. Any parent out there knows when dealing with children you must be absolutely as patient as possible no questions asked

  • Rainbow Brite

    I don’t think the teacher should be fire, reprimanded, yes, but not fired. She has not received the proper training on how to handle an autistic child, so I blame the parents and school board. The child should have been placed in a special school/classes in which teachers are trained how to deal with autism/special needs children.

    Even if the child was not autistic its still not right. So are you saying that a normal 5 year old is supposed to be brought in front of a class room and belittled by an adult and his/her peers? Any way you slice it its W-R-O-N-G!!!!!!!

  • Rainbow Brite

    Ok my apologies. I still feel there should be more then this teacher being reprimanded as a form of punishment. We are talking about little developing easily influenced minds. If the kid had been a teen then reprimanding her would be sufficiant but I think a harsher punishment needs to be handed down

    @ Sj

    Yes I am the parent of a 5 year old child so you are wrong right there. Also I have worked in a special needs preschool and have been the one-on-one aide to an extreme end austic boy. So you are wrong right there. Yes you learn social skills before you get to school but smart @$$ you thin a 5 year old knows all the social skills they will need in life by Kindergarten. There are a lot of kids in Kindergarten that are only children (such as my child). Kindgarten teaches them how to interact with other children, share and play. So what are you talking about? All the kids should not have to “suffer” because of one child who doesn’t listen but at the same time if the IEP of this child indicates he will benefit better from an integrated setting then he should be in class. Whether he was bad or out of control this teacher should have had a conference with the school, district reps and parents to say that she cannot handle him. He may have benefitted from the help of an one-on-one aide such as the boy I helped. Kicking him out and then asking the class to vote on his coming back was humilating to this boy and his family. If he has a problem then you deal with it you don’t kick him out and deny him his due right to education. He has as much of a right to learn as do the “normal” kids.

    Its a parent thing some people wouldnt understand

  • I’m Just Me

    @ M-DADDY

    Hey how are you doing? I see we parents are repping up in here.

    Thank you for your support. I just feel very strongly about mental retardation and mental disabilities. It is not this boy or any of the kids fault how they are born but this society is not accepting of mental illness nor do they acknowledge. They are ready to throw kids on Ritalin and other drugs the moment they show signs of not being quiet ASAP at the teacher’s whim. People who teach Kindergarteners should already know these kids are energetic, wild at times, can’t keep still or be quiet for long. She sounds like she wasn’t prepared to teach kids this young at all yet alone children with special needs. She should have alerted the school that she needed help, not handle it this way.

  • Slim

    A child with Asperger’s/autism is very difficult to be around, as a feature of these disorders means that they have difficulty with behavior and interacting with other people- a lot of autistic kids will scream, hit, punch, yell, and generally make life miserable. However, a child with such disabilities really cannot be held accountable for these actions, especially at age 5! And even if he was just a normal kid, this punishment would be so much worse, because the kid would understand what was going on – how humiliating and cruel would it be for the child? I cannot believe that.

  • DanaDane

    That’s still not the way to go about it, even if he IS a menace…now she’s out of a job. If I had been that teacher, I would have gotten the PARENTS of the other children togther, with the little boy’s parents, to put THEM on blast for having such a bad child…and as far as that chick with the physically abusive first-grader, give a bigger child permission to kick his/her ass daily, and act like you don’t see it (tell the kid to make sure you’re the only one around when he/she does it)…it worked for me, and I teach in an inner-city middle school in Miami, 1st graders ain’t got nothin on 12-14 year olds whew!

  • tara

    @DOGAE I agree. Teachers have far to much leniency in the class rooms. I have encountered some teachers who have no business educating children. My child had a racist teacher, who discredited everthing she did because she thought she was incapable of learining. I also encountered some teachers who were just plain mean, and who were only their to collect their checks.

  • sj

    I have a very bright 12 year old. And I don’t deal with bad, disrespectful kids. I trained my child to be mannerable and respectful. The boy was TESTED for autism. It was not confirmed. So I still say just because he has issues, the other kids deserve to get uninterupted lessons from the teacher. That’s not to say that he don’t deserve an education as well. He just needs to be in another class more conducive to his learning process.

    Just as some of you question my thought process, I wonder about yours as well.

    Have a good night!

    ***************************************************

    Not condoning the teacher’s actions but there are TWO sides to every story. So far, the only side we heard was from a mother who can’t control her own 5 year old.

    1. I have a feeling the teacher DID talk to the principal AND mother SEVERAL TIMES before becoming SO FRUSTRATED that she resorted to that stunt.

    2. The reason (other)kids aren’t learning anything is because of this “autistic” boy who disrupts their class to the point that the teacher can’t even do her job. The fact that ALL but 2 (who may have simply not voted either way) want you OUT OF THEIR CLASS shows he was acting like a STONE COLD FOOL on a daily basis! (His mother conceded as much.)

  • Karen

    Sorry MOMMADIVA, but this stuff is happening because that woman won’t GET IN HER CHILD’S AZZ AND TEACH HIM HOW TO BEHAVE!!! Instead, she opts to label it…If the MOMMA can’t control her ONE FIVE YEAR OLD, what’s a teacher to do with him AND TWENTY or so other kids in one room all day???

  • Karen

    Wow, SUPAWOMAN, if YOU’RE that frustrated dealing with just ONE lil’ autistic child, how could that teacher have felt?

    Ever think of walking in HER shoes??????

    What about the shoes of the other children who can’t learn their colors because lil’ Autism, Jr. keeps actin’ an azz and disrupting the glue-the-pasta-on-the-construction-paper sessions?

  • Doagae

    @Karen

    You are so right…but there are steps you can take to get disruptive kids out of your classroom and into a more appropriate setting like an Emotionally Disturbed classroom. This teacher was out of line for the way she handled this shyt. My 10 year is one of the smartest kids in his class but because he wants to be a comedian and acts up a lot…the other kids pretty much hate him…if this sort of thing were to happen to him, I think he would be a lil upset…..well, not really he would probably like it knowing that lil negro….

  • Karen

    LOL@that lil’ negro liking the attention. He probably would turn it into an improv.

    ANYWAY, I STRONGLY suspect that teacher had MANY, MANY conferences and DID try to have that child removed from her class…

    I mean, come on now, she resorted to having a bunch of kindergarteners vote him out as a last resort.

    And, I do believe that’s what this was for her–a LAST resort.

    She probably wanted to show the principal, “See, even the other kids in the class feel the same way and thinks he should be removed.”

  • vegasgal

    Wow that’s crazy. If the boy was autistic like people are saying the teacher may have been ill equipped to deal with his special needs. She was still completely out of line, but we have to remember we don’t have the full story. I’ve seen some kids who are absolute obnoxious terrors and I’m surprised more teachers don’t reach the breaking point. There are a lot of lazy parents out there who spoil their children and then blame the child’s bad behavior on everyone else.

    Regardless if the child was an ‘obnoxious terror’ or not, there is no excuse for this teacher’s behavior. I have taught some BAD, BAD kids, but I always kept in mind that they are CHILDREN and I am a trained ADULT. The full story isn’t necessary. The teacher must always maintain her composure. If anything, the teacher should have had a conference with the parents to determine if her particular class met the child’s needs.

    Dang!! thats just mean. That lil boy might have low self esteem for years because of that.

  • Crackalicious

    that’s heartbraking, that woman needs to be put out there by the media so we can all see her face and know her identity and talk bad about her for a loooooong time. Make Oprah get her for an hour on her show, stand her up infront of the audience and let them tell her why she needs to never be around kids ever again. She might di well as a prison guard tho..

    As an adult, you NEVER EVER do that to a child! Children have enough ridicule coming from their own peers. Adults are suppose to comfort children and make them feel safe in a world that’s usually very mean and hypocritical. I wonder how that woman would feel if another teacher had done that to her child? If that child was disturbing the class, then she should have had him removed. Maybe he could have sat in the office during the day and done his work. Or maybe even his parents could have came and sat in on the class. But what all the options she had, she choose to do something that was totally wrong. I don’t agree with what she did, but I could have understood it a little better if it was a high school student. By the time high school comes around, most children have been through a lot more and maybe could have handled what she was trying to accomplish. But even so, if that were my child, I would probably be in jail right now b/c I would have went to the school or to the teachers house(YES I WOULD!)and beat dat a**! Then I would have went to the school board and made sure that not only was she fired from that school, but that she never taught kids(at least not elementary or middle school)again.

    You know what makes this story even more disturbing, the boy suffers from autism (that is what I heard on the news). I swear some people do not need to work with children. I hope she gets fired and get her ass whopped!

  • tye tye

    the teacher probably was trying to show the boy that it’s not cool to be bad. She played a mental game hoping to change his behavior.

    Please—–u are very ignorant! he is a child..period!i hope u dont have kids,if so i feel sorry for them

    You said it best “tye tye”. I am the mother of a now 15yr old who has ADHD and ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder)and who has spina bifida and is in a wheelchair. And let me tell you, every teacher, every principal, every wheelchair basketball coach, the team, his TSS worker, his personal assistant, his therapist (Stop me at any time) etc, they have all hated my son and told me so. My son has never been to a sleepover because his peers don’t like him. I’ve thrown him parties and maybe only 1 “friend” shows up and family is always quick to leave. He has sociopathic tendencies and most people trained or not are only human and can only take so much. I have come to understand that. Behavior like my son’s or the little boy this post is about act out so badly that most everybody can’t stand them. For my family, I had to give custody of my son to my dad and stepmom last year because he was and is soooo out of control, and nobody really wants to be bothered. I understand the lesson the teacher was trying to get across, but all the people I just mentioned all share one thing in common: They are all HUMAN!!!! No one person, I have learned is trained enough or built for a constant onslaught of bad behavior, NO ONE!!! My son is getting ready to be transfered now to my mother and stepdad because my dad and stepmom have had enough. I understand what that little boy’s family is going through. My son is being tested again for autism and asperger’s. But so far he keeps coming up “NORMAL”!! Which means he gets no special treatment at school. Unless you have personally dealt with a problem child, you won’t really get it, most people are shocked when they see a kid like this and most still don’t know how to deal with it. I’m sure that teacher didn’t really mean any harm, she was probably doing what “tye tye” (post above me) just said.

  • SleeezyE

    UNBELIEVABLE! She needs her ass kicked all up and down the hallways of that school!

  • WordzOfaProphet

    Dats a damp shame. Really waht has da world come 2. This ish dnt make no sense 4real. She shud have her teaching license revoked 4real and I say jump her ass in da parking lot after shcool….LOL

  • Chocolate

    No Excuses! That is not the way you deal with a troubled child. If the child has special needs the parents need to make sure they get their child where someon can help him professionally.

  • Mike

    WTF?? That teacher needs a beatin!

  • Roni

    His bad ass probably deserved it!!

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    That is terrible. The parents need to take action and the teacher needs to be punished. I don’t care how bad he was. That is a child for God’s sake and there is certain things you don’t do. That is worse than beating a child, now he will be emotionally scared.

    Somebody needs to slap that Ho Azz Teacher!

  • Elo

    Hmmm…I do not condone this behavior but if you read the “SOURCE” the article states that the mother knew her son was a special needs child (perhaps autistic)that has behavior problems and does act out. Why doesn’t she have him in a class where teachers are educated in dealing with this type of child??? I have a feeling she is embellishing the story but I still feel like anything close to what happened is wrong and harmful to the childs well being.

  • Xotic Unicorn

    Cosigning with I’m Just Me on this one but I can see points in what everyone is saying…

  • Map

    That’s terrible. He’s only 5. Poor kid. Hope this doesn’t affect him too bad in the future. What the hell was that so called teacher thinking?

  • Sunshine

    What? Porr Kid are yall crazy?! These kids today are hard rocks!! They bringing guns bombs & crack pipes to school & wont think twice about punching you in the face. What was this poor teacher suppose to do, how could she give her attention to the rest of the class while he in there bugging out & acting up?

    I don’t blame her one bit! at least she didn’t beat the child, she did things the democratic way THEY VOTED his little butt off the island- I for one am all for it!!!

  • Sunshine

    For those of you saying this teacher needs a beating- have yall ever taught a class before? I bet yall the same folks with little Billy Bad Asses living under your roof too!!

    There is just no equating a teenage sociopath with a 5 year old autistic child. The two really have nothing in common.

    Sociopaths know the difference between right and wrong, they just don’t care. There is nothing that you could have done for your son to make him better. Nothing. And what he’s done is not your fault at all.

    You just have to realize that autism is an entirely different animal. My young cousin has the same form of autism that they think this boy has. He repeats himself over and over, and he pinches people. But he doesn’t pinch people because it makes him feel good (like a sociopath would) he pinches people because he doesn’t understand how other people wouldn’t like it. Autistic kids can be quite a handful but our teachers should have a little patience for the mentally ill, don’t you think?

    And as for removing him to a special needs class, I believe that in most places you have to determine what that special need is before the child can enter the class.

    @superwoman

    Everyone has their limits on what behavior and situations we can deal with. And maybe you shouldn’t judge a person for thinking that maybe their child needs help that they can’t provide. Being selfless enough to give your child to someone who you think can care for them more is called being a good parent.

  • onion61

    Although I did everything I could to help my son, my heart is still broken to know that he is this way. I can’t tell you how many times I have prayed and cried, or how many nights I have to hold my daughter because almost every night she has a nightmare about her brother coming to hurt her. I still tell my boy I love him and I ask God why all the time, why my family? The only other thing I pray for is that my son will not be able to hurt anybody else’s child, I would give my life if it meant that nobody else’s child could be hurt by my son. No parent should have to live with that.

    Most of you do not understand how bad these kids are. A teacher cannot allow one student to stop the others in the class from learning. This new generation of parents needs to teach their kids appropriate behavior for different environments. When parents pretend that everything that little johnny does is “cute” then this is the end result and behavior that you get from little johnny. Kids need discipline. Now, perhaps the teacher could have taken a different approach, however, he had probably gotten on her nerves and I do understand. Some of you people with these hardline opinions about what you would do to the teacher if she ‘dared do that to your child’ would not last in the classroom, from kindergarten on up, for one day! And by the way, what the teacher going to do while you beat her up, just stand there – I don’t think so.
