Satisfied the teacher is thoroughy and properly cowed, Omega goes back to hover over Theta. It's a good thing he can't hear what's being said about him and his ears. But Delta knows first-hand, so while Omega doesn't like the hammering on Theta's disability, he trusts Delta's judgement in the matter more than his own.

At least this time they'll have a car to get to Theta's appointments, and Omega can leave work early to take him. So that will be easier than last time around. Small comfort.
