The name calling started with those so-called "caring, compassionate" parents. I called the people hypocrites because they demand that I care as much for their child's special needs as they do. I don't, sorry. I care more for my child's special needs. I am being honest. I admit I care more for my child than theirs. They are not being honest, they don't care as much for my child as theirs, and they are certainly not practicing what they preach to others. They want me to make adjustments for their child's sake, but they do not make adjustments for my child's sake. Yet, at the same time, they tell me that I am uncaring and more. I do not want the schools to change to accomodate the needs of all. That is not the function of government or government-run schools. I will change for the sake of my own child. My child, not theirs! I have already pulled my child out of public school and am now homeschooling, because SCHOOL IS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS PLACE for him. See, unlike the "caring" parents who would rather complain and dictate the behaviors to others, I choose to take responsibility for my own family. Unlike the parents who would rather drop the kids off at school and force others to acquiesce to their demands, I make no demands on others. If the parents on this site truly cared for their children, they would also homeschool their children or put them in a private school that meets their demands. Yes, some mothers work. Is the life of your child not worth quitting your job? If finances are a barrier, there are always other solutions. Of course, it is much easier to inconvenience others than it is to inconvenience ourselves. Name: Email: Subject
