West Gadsden Middle School

Awesome

My child is special needs and is bullied daily. Principal doesn't do anything to help and since I made a fuss about it he has singled my child out of social situations rather than applying any proven successful techniques. The principal also had the nerve to express his belief (opinion/feelings) directly to my child by saying there isn't any kind of disability and that I am making it up. It is unprofessional, unethical, and down right unlawful for him to voice his thoughts on the issue to my child and conduct himself in a negative manner according to his beliefs about my child. Very disappointed in the administration, because they act like my child has the ability to control these social irregularities and should do so. This has been my child since birth and I KNOW it's a disability. If they educated theirselves on the disability (Asperger's) with compassion and openness they would understand that it's clearly all there. They think of it as Autism as an extreme stereotypical perception and will not accept it because he is intelligent and can communicate.
