Since I had mastered the 8th grade long before school started, alternative education made me a teachers aide for students, grade 1-6, with severe learning disabilities. I didn't go to school. I was free child slave labor of Oregon public schools. Today my step-daughter runs one of these classrooms.My how the times have seriously changed since then.
 As a child in AE with a 148 IQ, had I remotely behaved like this, not only would I have been permanently expelled from this school district(hell, I was threatened with expulsion just for asking questions)but the cops would have been called, I'm getting arrested for assaulting a teacher/student, and going to JDH for a time out.
 Today, if your child has emotional problems, and gets the right label slapped on them, they can act like this and if you do anything, the parent will sue, and the courts will side in their favor. It is surreal of what is expected of my step-daughter, that wouldn't have been remotely tolerated in 1976.
