While I still worry about how that teacher will act with other children, having
'got away with it' this time, I certainly agree with you Kate that there is a time to fight and a time to run - and for each of us, it is only ourselves that can know which is right for us at any one time. David 'Kate wrote: I suggest that, as I stated days ago, that how we handle situations in our lives will vary. Sometimes we don't have time or energy or simply are not in a position to do the best thing for the world and have to pare our lives down to do what is best for our children. And there are the worst times in ones life when getting dinner on the table for the children, making sure that they have clean clothes, and getting them to school on time with their homework completed is all that one can manage. I am not entirely certain everyone can understand what that feels like. But having lived that for a period of time, I know others understand. Perhaps that's why our opinions on this vary. What we think we would do, what we would like to do, and what is possible are not the same things sometimes. 'Kate |

Hi Kim
It wasn't so long ago that children with an intellectual disadvantage were hung upside down in the hope of more blood to their brain the smarter they would get. A "refinement" of this approach was to strap them to a wheel type devise, and spin them around for hours at a time - the idea being that this would FORCE more blood to their brain and they would end up no longer retarded (as they were labelled then) David - who is so glad we have improved (well a bit anyway) in our views of how people with a disability should be treated Kim wrote: I did read the entire post... Several times... Each time I read it I got angrier and angrier and it wasn't even MY child... I don't care who she thought she was emulating... If she's living that far in the past perhaps it's time she took a few refresher courses or retired? It might have been better for the kids... Next year she may read that a scholar hung his pupils upside down for hours on end to get the blood rushing to their brains... Who knows what else she could come up with... Ahhhhhhhhh more "what ifs" Agreeing to disagree more sorry Kim |

That was a nice reminder of things from the past. Unfortunately, the mistreatment goes on, just in different forms. Tiffany - who needs to be hung upside down today. |

"David" wrote in message ... I think an assault charge is in order - plus an AVO to prevent more attacks David - who would NEVER allow a teacher (or anyone else) to assault his children like that PS and my view has nothing to do with any disorder the child may have - it is simply that this is a degrading and humilating practice that is an assault V wrote: His teacher would tap over and over on their foreheads to get blood to their brains. I had a conference with her about his. I did not like my child repeatedly having someone thug him on the forhead. She made it seems as though I overreacted, but with his connective tissue disorder and the fact I teach them no one is to touch them, especially painfully and then...well, I am confused myself, but I did not like it at all. How would you guys have handled this situation? curiously, V Tell her if it happens one more time you are going to press charges for assault. Better still, go to the head and tell him/her the same thing....... I've just had a fairly similar thing here (with my 14y/o son) and told the Principal excatly that. I also told her that I gave my son full authority to walk out of this teachers class, call me in........and I would come in alright.......and press charges. End of problem!. If you dont protect your child, nobody else will. Dolores |

'Kate wrote in message ... On Wed, 03 Mar 2004 21:51:20 GMT, "V" 'Kate wrote in message ... On Wed, 3 Mar 2004 15:40:33 -0400, "Kim" Yes she did but what about the other children? what about the children next year and the year after and after... Perhaps that falls under the heading of "not that mother's problem." We cannot be responsible for everything at all times. Sometimes we have to pick our battles wisely so that they do not further harm our children. 'Kate Indeed it does. If it were more serious, I would, but nope. Not gonna do it. Kate I am starting to get tired with the "not getting its"..you get what I mean? V Yeah... I understand. I think it's because we're women. The fact that a minority of "women" dumb down to the level of a tree stump and act like little girls doesn't help. 'Kate Well I second that one for sure......... Dolores |
