So if you haven’t heard yet about the fake ice bucket challenge, then I will give a brief summary of what happened. So about a week ago a 15 year old boy with autism was asked by his fellow peers to take the ice bucket challenge. What he thought was going to be ice poured on him was actually feces and urine. Here is a link to an article talking about it:
This has now appeared all over the news around the world and it makes me sad that he was treated like that. This leads me to think how can the educational system help to prevent something like this from happening again? It is the jobs of the teachers to try to be aware of signs of bullying and try to prevent it before someone gets hurt (physically and emotionally). By learning how to teach students how to interact with each other, no matter their difference (including disability) and treat each other with mutual respect is key to preventing something like this from happening again.
