Wow. He Picked The Worst Possible Way To Handle It.

My sons are color-blind. When the youngest was in sixth grade, he had a teacher who was new. He hadn’t dealt with the older ones, and he had never had a color-blind student before. He was always using colored chalk on the green chalkboard.

I asked if he could switch to white as it was easier to see. The next day, he called my son out in front of the entire class.

New Teacher: “Can you see this one? What about this one?”

Of course, the kid was humiliated and just said yes to all of them.

Fortunately, before I picked him up, an older teacher heard about it. She reamed [New Teacher] out and took his colored chalk from him. By the time I heard about it, he had apologized in front of the whole class. [Older Teacher] was an awesome teacher.
