‘Are you that damn dumb?’
The tapes reveal teacher Christie Wilt and her teacher’s aide, Kelly Chaffins, saying disturbing things to Cheyanne in the classroom. Cheyanne, who is now in high school, was in Wilt’s class for three years of middle school. Chaffins has since resigned, while Wilt had to undergo eight hours of anti-bullying and child abuse training. On Monday, Wilt was put on unpaid leave for the rest of the school year, but Cheyanne’s family is hoping to prevent her from ever teaching or working with special needs students again.

Wilt, who did not respond to requests for an interview, can be heard on the recordings alongside Chaffins calling Cheyanne “lazy” and “dumb.”

“Cheyanne, are you kidding me? Are you that damn dumb? You are that dumb?’’ Chaffins can be heard saying in one instance. “Oh my God. You are such a liar. You told me you don’t know. It’s no wonder you don’t have friends. No wonder nobody likes you because you lie, cheat.’’

On another occasion, Chaffins can be heard poking fun at Cheyanne’s appearance.

From left, teacher Christie Wilt and her teacher’s aide, Kelly Chaffins. Chaffins was asked to resign, but Wilt could enter a classroom again.

“Cheyanne, don’t you want to do something to get rid of that belly? Well evidently you don’t because you don’t do anything at home. You sit at home and watch TV. All night. All weekend.’’

In one instance, Wilt informs Cheyanne she has failed a test before Wilt even takes a glance at it.

“You know what? Just keep it,’’ Wilt can be heard saying. “You failed it. I know it. I don’t need your test to grade. You failed it.’’

It's sick enough that kids bully, but teachers? I don't know what to say.

Some of these comments are awesome.

But on a serious note that is pretty rough, and teachers are the last people that should be bullying like that.

Edit: Holy shit Medicdog........I am speechless,

Considering I am going to school to become a teacher(graduating in two years) I have to say that is absolutely sick. Your a teacher you should never say that to a student ever. I mean especially teaching special needs. That takes patients and that teacher did not have it. She should be striped of her ability to teach.

special needs.....does that mean retarded or deformed?

special needs.....does that mean retarded or deformed?

Essentially yes, specials needs would apply to anyone that has a developmental disability.
