Summary

r/AmITheA**hole In today's episode, OP has a young daughter who is diabetic, so she needs to eat snacks at regular intervals to keep her blood sugar levels up.

OP warned the teacher about the snack policy, but when the teacher refused to comply OP has to escalate by reporting her to the principal. The teacher got fired as a result, leaving OP to wonder if she took it too far. Is OP the butthole here?

0:00.0	Welcome to R-slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit.
0:04.0	Today's subreddit is R-slash Am I the Butthole, where OP gets her teacher fired.
0:09.2	Am I the Butthole for getting a teacher fired when she wouldn't let my daughter eat in class?
0:14.1	I'm a 47 year old woman, and my 13 year old daughter is a type 1 diabetic, and sometimes hypochlycemic.
0:21.2	Alright, hold on OP. When I read that post, when I read the title I was thinking,
0:25.4	geez OP, that's a little bit extreme, but like once in and sin, I already know that you're not the butthole.
0:31.1	If a diabetic doesn't eat when they're supposed to, don't they go into a coma? Am I right about that?
0:37.2	What happens if a diabetic doesn't eat? If you don't eat, your blood sugar levels are
0:43.2	lower and medication may drop them even more, which can lead to hypochlycemia.
0:47.6	Hypochlycemia can cause you to feel shaky, pass out, or even go into a coma. Yes, okay.

1:05.3	side. Once in and sin, I already know that you're not the butthole. Due to this, we set up a 504 that
1:10.7	says that she can eat a snack in class whenever needed, along with other accommodations.
1:14.9	For those who don't know, a 504 plan is a formal plan that schools develop to give kids with
1:19.6	disabilities to support they need. Anyways, at one point, one of her teachers who is apparently a
1:25.5	new teacher denied my daughter a snack while she was hypochlycemic. My daughter nearly passed out,
1:32.2	but in her next class, the teacher had enough common sense to let her eat a snack before passing
1:36.9	out at school. When my daughter told me about this, I immediately called the teacher. When the
1:42.2	teacher called back, I lectured her and told her that she has to let my daughter eat a snack when
1:46.8	needed. She said that snacks aren't allowed in class, but I told her that due to my daughter's 504,
1:52.3	she is legally required to give my daughter an exception to that rule. And I recommended that she
