Discrimination or Soccer Mom?

[IceBearRocks]

Kids do Kuk sool won (KSW) martial art. Mainly as both hypermobile but our ASD boy is severely hypermobile but has ridiculously tight tendons. Hes had treatment, physio and casting in plaster to help lengthen tendons.
Recently staffing at KSW has been hit and miss.
This week they've decided that a stancemy hypermobile kid struggled to do they decide to show him up against a low belt who Is at least 7 years younger. The kid is show boating...my kid cant do what hes pitted against as his disabilities wont allow it!

Aibu it say ...woah .... discrimination...stop making my kid look like a knob or do I take it in the chin...and be a Soccer mom?

That's not what I'd call a soccer mom.
I'm not sure what you are saying but if you think your child is being set up because of his physical issues have a word with his teacher and ask why they thought it was appropriate.

I would be pissed off by this

I would look the class leader right in the eyes and say

"I noticed you pitted DS against Young Child, enjoy humiliating disabled children do you?"

And watch him squirm.

Yeah, that's not a 'soccer mom'.

I'd also have a quiet word with the teacher...

Sorry its a bit unclear how its typed. But normally the instructors pairs people up on a variety of matches, some equal some unequal from my experience. However if you think your child is being unfairly matched, or is causing distress then raise it. You can go up higher in organisation as well if needed.

I'm not sure what this has to do with soccer, but maybe have a word with the instructor. Was it a belt test?

Is this the right martial art for him?

I don't think YABU to have a word with the instructor about it. They shouldn't make an example of a child like that if he cannot do something due to his condition. Did they realise? I think you should say something.

Maybe ask physiotherapist what activity would be best for his condition? I would think swimming might be a better fit.

I'm surprised that martial arts is the best option for someone with hyper mobility.

Is the school run by someone as a part time hobby? Maybe they need educating about the condition?

Did they pit your child against the other to humiliate them, or because the other child is good and they're using it as a learning exercise?

How old are both children?

How on earth do you know they did it to humiliate him?
