| 0:00.0 | My kid's teacher does not allow snacks in her class, but my kid is diabetic in hypoglycemic. |
| 0:06.5 | Here's what happened. Subscribe to Ami the Jerk on YouTube and hit the bell for notifications. |
| 0:11.4 | I, 47-year-old female, have a daughter, 13-year-old female, who is a type 1 diabetic and |
| 0:17.2 | sometimes hypoglycemic. Due to this, we set up a 504 that says she can eat a snack in class |
| 0:22.7 | whenever needed, along with other accommodations. Anyway, at one point, one of her teachers who's |
| 0:27.9 | apparently a new teacher, denies her a snack while hypoglycemic. She nearly passes out, |
| 0:33.7 | but in the next class she's in, the teacher has enough common sense to let her eat a snack |
| 0:37.7 | before passing out at school. When she told me, I immediately called the teacher. When she |
| 0:42.6 | called back, I lectured her and told her that she needed to let my daughter eat a snack when needed. |
| 0:47.6 | She says snacks aren't allowed in class, but I tell her that due to my daughter's 504, |
| 0:53.1 | she's legally required to give my daughter an exception to that rule, and recommended she |
| 0:58.0 | give it another read. Before hanging up, I told her that if she ever does this again, |
| 1:02.8 | I'll contact the principal and let him know. I recorded this call on my husband's phone, |
| 1:07.1 | by the way. A month goes by and the same thing happens again. I request a meeting with the principal |
| 1:12.0 | and my husband plays back the call between me and the teacher. I tell him she's done this twice |
| 1:16.8 | and needs to have a talk with her. Turns out, he actually fired her for ADA violations. How would |
| 1:22.9 | I know? I ran into her at publics. She told me it's my fault that I got her fired over some stupid |
| 1:29.1 | snacks and I need to stop raising an entitled brat. Instead of arguing back, I just walked away. |
| 1:35.2 | Was I really the jerk? Did I actually go too far? No need to worry here, original poster. You're |
| 1:42.6 | not the jerk. This teacher needed to acknowledge this child's condition. Yes, there are rules, |
| 1:48.4 | but there are also rules regarding the 504 that are meant to allow exceptions to those rules. |
| 1:54.4 | You can't choose which rules you want to listen to. They are both rules. If you're so |
