Local news station WBRZ reports that Baton Rouge-based Hope Academy is firing both a teacher and a teachers aide who were heard ridiculing the autistic boys intelligence while being secretly recorded by a tape recorder planted by the boys mother.
Camden, why dont you have anything written down? one adult in the recording can be heard saying to the boy. Thats why you cant sit with everyone. Tell your momma that.
Lets see what they do with him in f*cking public school, adds another adult. He was going to go to Live Oak Middle. Uh ah, he wouldnt make it for a minute.
One of the people in the recording can also be heard sarcastically imitating noises that the boy makes.

Hope Academy says that it has fired one of the adults in the recording effective immediately, while the other adult in the recording will be formally terminated within the next two weeks.
http://hopeacademybr.org/ is this school's website. They are an academy for autistic and children with other difficulties.

They're likely just unskilled workers with no formal teacher training or experience, no advanced degrees and no state license. Private schools have all kinds of carve outs and exemptions that allow them to bypass the rigorous educational requirements for public school teachers.
they still have tape recorders?
