And the boys coming up here the areas he has autism takes a special class with five other students.
The father's secret device recorded more than six hours of sound and in this first clip -- a play for you.
The teacher apparently well you decide listen.

Yesterday -- The father says his son is a gentle child who only recently started acting up at all.
He says he thought the reason for the acting up was coming in because of something that happened at school.
Now the father says he's put the audio on line to reclaim his son's dignity.
And to call attention to how that teacher and lead in the classroom treated the boy.
No one who treats children like that who call -- pieces they changed who he really can't -- -- early deserves to be a teacher.

Superintendent released a statement there and here's part of it.

Why is recording conversations.
That two other people were having two other teachers were have been having.
-- -- -- And what -- violated -- -- is probably what we're really kicked in the door of them -- elementary autistic child usually sits -- have to take to it was a beautiful morning not usually six I have read the I mean the people should not be be be arrested but that if what they're saying is true shepherd the statement that they gave you that those teachers no longer work there that the reason want to follow put -- -- and what he's saying it.
He wanted to open a conversation that there are teachers out there -- doing.
Acting in a program what I was gonna like original handled internally because what.
