What can I do if my daughter's teacher is on the edge of verbally abusing students?
My daughter is in 3rd grade. She was cold in class and couldn't stop moving and/or shivering at her desk. Her teacher came over to her and slammed all the papers she was carrying on my daughters desk, got in her face and yelled 'Stop moving! What are you, two years old?. She is known for making shameful/embarrassing comments, on an ongoing basis to get kids to comply. My question is this: Can I tell her she is really playing around the edges of verbal abuse and she better start making better choices with her language?
How can my daughter drop a class and not be held truant from class?
My daughter, a High School Senior. who turned 18 December 29, 2008 wants to drop a class not needed for graduation, but the school is refusing and threatening to ID her as truant. We believe she can stop going to the class since she is now 18 and that she can no longer be charged as truant. Recently she applied to a community college and got accepted for enrollment which she is considering due to problems with her high school. Can her high school legally charge her as truant and bar her from graduation?

Can a disabled child be homeschooled or do they have to go to public school?
I have a five year old disabled daughter who is attending school; she is in kindergarten. I want to take her out of school because she is unhappy. I can say the schools care of my daughter's feelings and needs are terrible; however, they say I cannot keep her home even though a parent of a child who is not disabled has this choice. Is it true that because my child is special needs I have no right to do what I think is in her best interest?
