Their lack of empathy and downright callousness is unbelievable.

Im so glad such a school and teachers (and students!) exists, but sorry that the impulse to mock handicaps persists. There is a feature film of a Tibetan school for the blind, (not sure where located) whose students learn mountain climbing, even so, are mocked; their 'past lives' blamed for their lost vision. Could primary school teachers in Sikkim flag this attitude as something needing attention? Work to redress?
