From Voted Out of the Class to Honor Roll

alex barton

Two years ago, Alex Barton was in kindergarten, when his teacher placed him in front of the class and asked if Alex should be voted out of the class. The children voted Alex out of class. Many kids later apologized and said they felt pressured by the teacher. Alex Barton has autism. From the Palm Beach Post:


Alex Barton, now a second-grader, has made the honor roll at Jupiter Academy, where he enrolled this year.

This year is his first in a mainstream classroom setting after being voted out of his classroom as a kindergarten student.


Way to go, Alex.
