I agree, that if a teacher just wants obedience, it's useless trying to advocate in terms of what the child wants, or their feelings. Luckily we haven't encountered that too much.

It's also difficult in such states to get children with LDs help... It's so sad. We just happen to live in pa by default .... I had no idea how important it would be in terms of education. I think there are other states with even more favorable education laws... But there are definitely worse. 😔
