An Unfortunate Tragedy

No parent should have to have their child die in a school. There is no doubt there are some teachers who can't cope with students with special needs. My nephew is one and it's certainly been a rough ride. Some teachers are "naturals" at dealing with children. You see it in their eyes. For others, teaching is a job. The added stress of integrating children with autism and other disorders is simply too much for them.

An excerpt from the article:

"The government needs to protect vulnerable children like Gabriel, said Jean-Pierre Ménard, the lawyer for the boy's parents.

"We're asking (Education) Minister (Michelle) Courchesne to implement a legal framework to regulate how these children are handled."

Absolutely.

In the meantine, parents with special needs kids must keep a special watchful eye and be vigilant when their children head to shcool and integrate into the mainstream.
