Toronto’s public school board has put three staffers from John Fisher Junior Public School on home assignment while it investigates allegations of racism and dozens of incidents involving a 6-year-boy.
An acting principal and vice-principal have been appointed and the board is still looking for a fill-in teacher.
“In two weeks, you can’t decide if a child is suited for a program or not,” said Faridah. Although TDSB spokesperson Bird said the board could not comment on the details of any of the allegations under investigation, he did agree this kind of advice so early in the school year would be an unusual course of action for the board.
“The idea of schools calling families rapidly and constantly is what we call over-surveillance,” an example ofthat “happens all the time,” said Grant. “The constant calls are to wear down, for her to get fed up and say, you know what, let’s take him out .” A few days later, something did go wrong. Her son, at 4-foot-9 and big for his age, hit a classmate while apparently horsing around in class doing karate moves. A trip to the principal’s office allegedly ended with the boy being confined to a small room containing audio equipment and where, according to Bird, morning announcements are made.
