Re: Dr. Ron Leaf speaking at LA FEAT meeting Monday

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I was just curious about this LA FEAT meeting, if anyone could share

what Ron Leaf said about testifying for the school districts, would love

to hear his explanation of why they are doing that.

How can a family be over-empowered? I have actually never heard of such a

thing. I wonder if our school district feels that way about us. For every

helpful educator/therapist/doctor we have encounted so far there is an equally

unhelpful, burned out educator/therapist/doctor. This is not unlike anything in

life - however it is intensely personal because they are talking about my child

who cannot defend himself. I hate when it becomes " us " against " them " but I can

see how it happens. I doubt it is ever productive but I can certainly see how

it reaches that point.
