I would suggest visiting the school and sitting in - at the end of the day - that's really the only way you'd know - and you'd preferably have to do it without the teacher or your child knowing you were there - probably not practical -but that's exactly why we home school now. Even with a newsletter, daytime schedule and supposed curriculum which is never suited to these kind of kids ....you never really know what's going on and teacher's for the most part I think, don't really care - not like they used too. To many of them, its just a job - and there are under ridiculous pressures that have nothing to do with teaching anymore.
