Re: Re: O.T. gripe about speech therapy AGAIN Should I...

[Guest guest]

I home-schooled for just this reason. But an advocate told me just the

other day that she always recommended parents never to take their child

out of school because all these professionals are just as glad to see

the back of you as you are of them. I give her view because I greatly

respect her. On the other hand, not listening to people paid heaps to do

nothing except moan about my child has done me so much good as a person

and my child so much good as a learner.
