Wheelchair user calls out gym teacher who failed her for not doing push-ups TIKTOK: gypsy.rose2.0A wheelchair user went viral on TikTok after blasting her gym teacher who failed her because she didn\u2019t do push-ups and squats. In a seven-second clip with 4.5 million views, TikToker gypsy.rose2.0 called out her gym teacher for failing her PE assessment simply because she\u2019s in a wheelchair. The disabled student said she correctly indicated on the online submission that she is physically unable to do push-ups and squats. \u201cMe after submitting that I can\u2019t do any squats or push ups for my assessment BECAUSE I\u2019M IN A WHEELCHAIR and my gym teacher gives me a 0%\u201d the text overlay on the video read. According to the TikToker, her teacher also left a comment in the feedback section of the online assessment, writing, \u201cAre you choosing not to complete?\u201d Many TikTok users in the comments were outraged, as they slammed the gym teacher. \u201c\u2018\u2018Are you choosing not to complete?\u2019 Are you choosing to lose your job??\u201d one user wrote. \u201cHow are the people in charge of students so daft at times,\u201d another added. Others shared their own bad experiences with PE teachers. \u201cMe when I broke my ankle and they still made me run the mile in a boot,\u201d one user commented. \u201cI was in a car accident that messed up my back. I had to sit out of most activities for PE. I had a doctor\u2019s note but my teacher still tried to fail me,\u201d another shared. In a follow-up clip, gypsy.rose2.0 explained that since this was her first year in virtual PE, she was waiting for the IEP (individualized education program) case manager to disclose her disability, and had only hinted at it in a few assignments. The TikToker also gave an update, saying she contacted the gym teacher about the issue and showed an email response of them apologizing for the mistake. In the same email, they promised to remove any assignments that required activities she was unable to complete. However, gypsy.rose2.0 claimed that the gym teacher continued to deduct points and even told her \u201cI know you\u2019re limited, but you still have to try.\u201d Fortunately, after the student\u2019s mother called up the teacher, they bumped up her grade leading the issue to being resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
