Not only can ableism be displayed by students, but it could also be displayed by the faculty of the school. More often than not, children are treated differently and bullied due to disabilities. I witnessed many times in school where a student with a disability would be bullied and teachers would do nothing about it; in my opinion that’s also a form of bullying. I can remember a boy in a wheelchair, whom I had gone to school with since kindergarten, being called names by the “popular” boys in high school so bad to the point where he was homeschooled part-time. My friend group and I would tell the boys to stop and even took it to the counselor, but nothing ever came of
