Education / Pedagogy / teaching children with special needs

English term or phrase: stuck up

No seguinte contexto:
Declaração de uma escola que admite crianças com necessidades especiais.

We made each student a member of a grade level classroom. Doing
so has not only made our students with special needs integral parts of our student
body and increased their learning exponentially, but also has benefited the general
education population. They support, goof off with and stuck up for students with
special challenges.

stuck up for tomaram uma posição a favor de

Explanation:
Em primeiro lugar, a preposição "for"é essencial. Apenas "stuck up" ou, mais tecnicamente, ""to stick up", não tem significdo. E a observação de sflor também faz sentido: é mais do que "prestar apoio". Inclui uma atitude ativa de defesa e apoio, razão porque é preciso ser mais incisivo. Normalmente não costumo usar a expressão "tomar posição", que é muito abusada, mas este é um dos poucos casos em que é justificada.
