"Full tard" was a reference to Tropic Thunder....you never go full tard as an actor. .
(Actually it's full retard but full tard is how I remembered the scene)

Also as a retired teacher that spent a lot of time in special ed we commonly talked about our various problems "tending tards" in the break room when nobody else was around.
Enjoyed Tropic Thunder though.

You are very naive.
You should hear how teachers talk about their regular students in the staff break room. Last high school I was at we had a monthly "Safety Committee" meeting at a bar down the street and we'd all tell stories about the miserable little teen age chits we had to put up with. When the liquor was flowing we really opened up, doing imitations of the little monsters and seeing if anyone could guess who we were mimicking.
Good times.
Teachers are people too ya know.

And I was responding 'specifically' to your 'tending tards' comment. The only naivety here is if you think that's an acceptable thing for a teacher to say.

No wonder education is so poor in the States.
Safety Committee Meeting in a bar?
And yes we have a laugh in the Staff Room but calling students "retards"
is not funny, disrespectful and completely unprofessional.
