Kimberly Orben is a teacher at Delaware Valley High School. Many of her students (current and former), including myself have struggled in her class. I was belittled for asking questions and not understanding the lesson, she wouldn’t show different methods to accommodate for other students learning styles. I stopped asking questions because I was embarrassed and my needs weren’t being met (I had an IEP for ADHD with the school which teachers [including Orben] regularly ignored). She then addressed that I hadn’t been asking questions, announced my letter grade to the class and said I had poor work ethic, that was followed by more embarrassment. Having her class 7th period, I struggled to get to the bus on time and had to call my mom twice in a week to pick me up. I told Orben I needed to bring my bag to class so I wouldn’t miss the bus. I would be within eyeshot almost to the classroom as the bell rang, and she would shut the door even when she saw me coming to class.  She wouldn’t open the door either, but would stand in the front of the room until another student noticed and let me in. (Making me later than my normal 15 seconds) She sets students on a path for failure, makes them feel badly about themselves, and creates an overall toxic learning environment.
