Melissa Barton's Reaction

Melissa Barton reacts to the dismissal of Wendy Portillo. Portillo is the Port St. Lucie Florida teacher who allowed her class to "vote" Alex Barton, a boy who has Asperger's Syndrome (an Autism Spectrum Disorder) out of her classroom. The judge subsequently upheld the ruling that dismissed Portillo from employment as a teacher.

Wendy Portillo became a teacher so she could inflict harm to children.

You normals don't want to be in the ring with a kid like this after he learns how to lift weights and box.

@OntarioAutism I agree. It's too bad so many children's fundamental right to an education is being compromised by autistic children who clearly need special services and whose parents are pushing them on mainstream classes and teachers.

He is excelling now in a mainstream school. If you're concerned about saving money, having trained teachers who can work with this or that will only cost more money. The issue is: Was the teacher correct in how she conducted her class? NO. She wasn't. Communication with the student, mom and teacher would have changed this outcome for the better. There are good/bad teachers, this one was one sorry punk ass teacher. She is still teaching and hardened against these students, sad.

You're simply confused on this matter. Education is not being dumbed down to teach this boy he was singled out by his irresponsible teacher. Five year olds didn't come up with the idea "to vote him off the island" his punk ass teacher did and that is the problem. Anyway it's count to five and shit like that, that is "taught" in kindergarten not multivariate calculus. A good school system will move students based on test scores.

I make a better point because I'm right. Asperger's syndrome is complex as are the arguments concerning treatment. You said 'pour some sugar on that & suck me sweetpants !' that sounds like a faggot to me. Some how from your prior statement I knew you were a punk ass. This child is not 'disruptive & uncontrollable' as he has been placed in a different mainstream not *special* school and is doing well. It's the T-E-A-C-H-E-R's problem.

Oh and a FU and all that.

You're still wrong on the subject. People with Asperger syndrome will still have to learn to navigate in a far less caring environment than public schools. Teachers should be proactive and *understand* their students' needs and abilities not just throw up their hands and be rid of them because they can't *TEACH*. People with Asperger don't score poorly academically and don't need to be held back because some punk ass faggot doesn't like the idea they'll be in the classroom.

Insipid little faggot, gubmint is a play on others' speech, and if you didn't understand the original post, than you'll just have to find someone smarter than you to explain that to you.

@tattoopokeymon recieve is spelled receive "your the one" should be "you're the one" interesting that "needs to learn to pay attention" follows that. and fucktard is not spelled as fuctard, however your use of this word underscores your problem with some people. Are you still "recieving" your education? I'll help you out a little.... You are OR You're receive not recieve your shows possession You are OR You're shows existence. For example, you're a punk ass. Punk Ass :D

@tattoopokeymon

Poor retort, but that is to be expected from a punk ass who barely made it out and now blames others for his own failures. The teacher is atrocious as are your comments concerning autism.
