If all teachers have the same attitudes shown here it comfirms one thing to me, that the UK education system is superior to yours. I am feeling quite smug about it. My son is in no way a victim of his allergies, and demands very few changes or 'special treatement' , he even eats his food next to other children. I dont demand a nut /egg/bean etc allergy table. I see home schooling based purely on health reasons to be the last resort, and certainly a tempory action, with a the view to attend normal school when child is old enough to start to care for themselves. I dont believe that my child would gain the social skills that will keep in alive if I kept him apart from his peers. Every child is an individual, are you suggesting that a teacher should not give special consideration to a child that has educational needs? or give extra time and attention to a child who has undergone some form of emotional truama that has lessoned their abilty to learn? There are many special needs that over lap on a childs abilty to learn, and a teacher has to continually plan ahead to include supporting these children. I have worked in many schools over here over the years, and I have never seen the attitude from the teachers that I have witnessed here. Never have i been so grateful in that respect.
