Joylyn-
I don't understand how you can post a lengthy letter describing how
offensive the word retard is to you, and how you never describe your children in an
offensive way, yet you go on to call the children in your classroom "the little
retards."

I had the same thoughts, but didn't say anything. That statement was much
more offensive to me than someone saying that boys' maturity is "retarded" in
comparison to girls'. It was like, you called the children "little retards"
in your own mind, but, hypotcrically, called them something else less
deratory aloud.
