Chapter 28 Todd confronts school prejudice
Todd's voice was icy cold, and his presence dominated the room, rendering the other children incapable of resistance.
Basically, all the children who had mocked Angela had been given nicknames of their own.
Todd never liked using someone's appearance to attack them, but these people shouldn't have made fun of Angela.
If they dared to mock Angela, they should experience what it feels like to be mocked by someone else.
Sure enough, after Todd gave four or five girls their nicknames, the boys in the class erupted into laughter.
"Ugly Monster, Chubby! That's what we'll call you from now on!"
The girls were immediately overcome with anger and began to cry.
The sound of crying filled the classroom.
Heidi came over upon hearing the commotion, and the girls went to her, crying to report what Todd had done.
"Teacher, Todd gave us nicknames!"
"Teacher, Todd mocked me for being fat, wuwuwu..."
Heidi was slightly taken aback.
This child, Todd, seemed well-mannered and wouldn't do such things, right?
"Teacher, they said that giving each other nicknames can strengthen their bond, so I gave Angela a mute nickname, and out of politeness, I gave each of them one," Todd said nonchalantly. "The other children around can testify."
The boys around nodded in agreement. "Yes, it was them who called Angela mute first, so Todd gave them nicknames in response."
At this point, Heidi understood everything.
She had known that there would be two transfer students in the class, one of whom was even autistic.
She had promised Todd's mother that she would take good care of Angela, but on the first day, such a thing happened.
Heidi handed tissues to the crying girls and sternly said, "Now you know how it feels to be called a nickname, don't you?"
The girls sobbed and gasped for air. "Y-yes... we know."
"If you continue to call Angela mute, then the other students in the class can continue to call you by your nicknames, and I won't intervene in that matter," Heidi said calmly.
"If you want your classmates to stop calling you by your nicknames, then you have to promise that you will no longer mock Angela. Can you do that?"
Four or five-year-old girls are at the age where they care the most about their appearance.
No little girl can bear being called ugly or fat.
As soon as Heidi finished speaking, several little girls nodded together and walked hand in hand towards Angela, saying, "Sorry Angela, we shouldn't have made fun of you. Can you forgive us?"
Angela did not react at all.
Todd spoke up, saying, "I shouldn't have made fun of your appearance either, I'm sorry."
The little girls immediately started laughing and said, "It's okay, we were wrong first. Todd, can we be friends with you and your sister?"
"Of course, you can," Todd nodded calmly.
He didn't need friends, but his sister did.
If these people were sincere to Angela, he would sincerely accept them into his and Angela's world.
Seeing the children playing harmoniously together, Heidi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to go to the office to get teaching materials, and as soon as she walked into the office, she heard voices talking, mentioning the names of the two new transfer students today...
"The new pretty girl who arrived is autistic, and it seems to be quite severe."
"It seems like this is the first time our preschool has admitted such a severe case of autism. Children with this condition should be sent to specialized schools, so why did she come to our preschool?"
"Autistic children can also have aggressive tendencies. What if one day she bullies other children when she has an episode?"
The teachers in the office were discussing one after another.
Heidi pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Angela does indeed have autism, but for now, no signs of aggressive tendencies have been found. Please, teachers, don't gossip about a child behind their back."
"It will be too late if we discover that she has aggressive tendencies." An older teacher said with emphasis, "While nothing has happened yet, find a reason to expel her quickly. It's difficult to cure autism patients like her, sending her to our preschool is just giving us teacher’s trouble."
Heidi's face didn't look good, "Even if it's trouble, it's trouble for me. You teachers don't need to worry."
After she finished speaking, she opened the office door and walked out.
After she left, a small figure walked out from behind the pillar at the office entrance.
Todd's face was cold and serious.
Whether it was abroad or in Cuenca, it seemed that his sister would encounter these kinds of problems no matter which school she went to.
He was very experienced in dealing with these matters.
He must resolve this matter perfectly without his mother knowing, otherwise, she would never be able to focus on her work.
Todd reached into his backpack and took out a tablet.
Most people use tablets to watch TV or play games, but for him, the tablet was a very useful tool.
His fingers quickly typed on the virtual keyboard, and in no time, the tablet's screen turned blue, with various English characters popping up.
A few moments later, Todd closed the tablet and stood up. He walked over and pushed the office door open directly.
Inside the office, a few teachers had already moved on from gossiping about Angela DeRoss and were engrossed in another discussion. Just as they were getting into it, the door was pushed open, revealing a child standing in the doorway.
"Which class are you from? Hasn't anyone taught you to knock before entering?" the older teacher raised an eyebrow and scolded.
As a teacher for more than ten years, she knew well which expressions would scare children. Unfortunately, the child standing in front of her was no ordinary child.
Todd calmly walked in, seemingly in a world of his own. He pulled out a chair and sat down, emitting an aura that slowly enveloped the office like an invisible net.
He lightly pursed his lips and spoke, "I also have a question. Has no one ever taught you all that speaking ill of others behind their backs is morally wrong?"
"What did you say?!" the older teacher's face turned cold with anger. "Tell me, which class are you from? How dare you come into a teacher's office and speak so arrogantly? We don't have students like you in our school! Let your parents come, and we can have a discussion about your expulsion."
