Exorcism time

By Anonymous - 12/02/2016 18:47 - United States - San Francisco

Today, a teacher told me in all seriousness that she believes my son, who has severe learning difficulties, is likely demonically possessed. I'm sorry, but what century are we living in? Now I have to get him moved to another school so he doesn't have to be in the care of this nutjob. FML

My son's third grade teacher told me she was afraid he going to grow up into a "Columbine shooter because he is so quiet and attentive; it's really spooky." My biggest regret in life is that I didn't stand up, tell her off, and remove my son from her 'care.' I did him a grave disservice in listening to her. Incidentally he is now 23, happy, loving, and still very quiet and attentive. Some teachers should find a new profession.

My first thought is that maybe it's a religious private school. That could possibly explain the teachers mentality.

Check out the Texas school board: their standards for texts are used nationally, and "Intelligent Design" (a circumlocution for Creationism) is pushed as a "scientific" alternative to evolution. Also much of black and native history is ignored or distorted, to an Uncle Tom degree.

I am sorry to read that some people consider this as part of her religion or even her beliefs. Then again, 77 percent of all Americans "believe there are signs that aliens have visited Earth" ( sept 2014) and 42 percent do not believe in evolution. So yes, bury me, but we find the population of your country ( some of whom are going to vote !) much scarier than errr, angels, demons, ghosts , roswell creatures, witches and so on.

Just say "Christo" to him in front of the teacher. If he flinches, it's true. If he doesn't, he's fine.

Or me he is also an asshole and it is your fault, don't blame the teacher for YOUR responsibilities.

You are probably not from a state in which they do that then obviously.

Personally being a teacher myself, some children with "learning disabilities" really just have severe behavior disorders. But parents are in denial and want their precious babies to be perfect and innocent so they want to cover up their children's bad behavior or their bad parenting by saying they just have a learning disability or other issues when in all reality their kid is just a little brat. However, the teacher should of approached the situation differently.

What does that have to do with this teacher's apparent belief that Supernatural is actually a documentary? Even if it was purely a case of bad behavior, attributing that to demonic possession is patently idiotic. also, *should have

#90 it's funny, but my brother's teachers said the same thing about him. Despite my mother getting him diagnosed by two different psychologists, they refused to give him any extra help and told her she was just using that to excuse her bad parenting (some even had the gall to give her "how to parent" books). Because apparently "he's too smart to be retarded, so he must just be a badly brought up brat." Eventually she just moved him to a special needs school, and all the sudden (with the extra help) his failing grades became 75-80s. I understand that over-diagnosing is a legit problem, but if you have kids that have diagnosed learning disabilities then it really isn't up to you (as a teacher) to decide which ones are "really" disabled or not. If you're talking more though about parents who just self-diagnose their kids (no actual tests, just their personal opinion) then please forgive my rant. Though to be fair, parents with disabled kids usually DO sense that something's up (even before official tests).

That teacher shouldn't have said that. It's possible he IS a demon and has just been pretending to be your son, after the real son was kidnapped by Lucifer. Way to jump to conclusions lady!
