Basically I’m not sure if it is my place to say something - and if it is then to whom I should say something to!
My eldest goes to the local pre-school in the afternoons & whilst walking him up to school on Tuesday we had to pass a PE teacher who was, for want of a better word, having a banter with some pupils, I’d guess they were about 7.
They were talking about a game at the weekend I think and one pupil was saying “sir I scored twice & one goal was with my left foot into the top left corner” obvs very proud of himself and rightly so. PE teacher responded with “were the team you were playing blind?!” he said it twice as he first time the pupil didn’t hear/responded “eh?”.
Now first of all I felt so sad for the pupil, why couldn’t the teacher say well done?! Secondly I’d bet my last pound that the teacher couldn’t play football wearing a bloody blindfold and those sort of derogatory comments are the sorts of things that pupils will pick up on and therefore they’ll decide that blind people aren’t as good as they are.
I don’t know though am I being precious?
If not and I should say something I don’t know where to start as my DS has nothing to do with ‘normal’ school yet!
