I would either have a kid in Chriistian school or home schooled, simply because current public schools are dangerous cesspits,

Soooo, you intend to make your children safe from sexual predation by handing them over a bunch of sexually repressed fundies?
Did you miss the last 50 years where the catholic church has been repeatedly shown to have an endemic problem with child abuse in it's ranks?
Or the number of christian cults that abuse children?
Or the number of preachers/church leaders arrested or shamed for sexually inappropriate behaviour?

well... I home school my offspring to have an open mind. Even about cristians when necessary. Also teach him/her to think and be on guard against agendas and brainwashing and the insidious, pernicious tendency of parts of society to insert people into, for lack of a better word, "comfortable" boxes. Self guided or automaton, your choice, not the gov., not the churches, not the family, yours.
Not everyone who home schools their children has what can be considered best for said children. There are plenty of parents who believe that not all races are of equal worth, or that evolution is a blasphemous lie, and by God, their not going to let their kids get exposed to such filthy liberalism!

I would think that that particular teacher was probably a one in a a million imbecile, and not representative of the whole teaching profession.

How about the teacher that decided to play a classroom version of Survivor, and kick out an autistic kid and have each student insult said kid (if I remember correctly the boy was a kindergartner).
I'm unaware of that situation, but that teacher should have been fired that that heartless stunt.

I want to grab that teacher by the face, and beat him or her into unconsciousness - and I'm not normally violent man.

I still have to believe this represents the minority of teachers. We are fortunate enough to live in a school district that is renowned for providing special education to autistic children, of which my six year old is receiving.

Why isn't your kid in normal classes? I'm sorry, but often the best place for kids on the spectrum is outside of the special education classrooms and in normal classes, cause otherwise they're going to be way behind the normal classes.

I seriously doubt the special ed will catch your daughter up, I used the special ed class for study hall in middle school so I would have access to a word processor, I could hear what they were teaching the kids that were in there, and they were 2 to 3 grade levels behind me, stuff I had learned back in Elementary, was new curriculum for these kids. Made me glad that I only had study hall there.
