[QUOTE="JackBeNimble, post: 656400, member: 18998"] This reminds me of the many times I had teachers that should have not been teachers and some of them were just plain nuts. I started school at age three in a Catholic school. I begged my mother to go to school and after testing me they allowed me to attend kindergarten. Unfortunately I soon realized the school was all play and not much teaching. What they did teach I already knew anyway and I was tired of playing games. I was a very tiny kid but I walked eight city blocks alone to catch the bus to go to school. Today my mother would have been arrested for allowing me to walk alone but understand I wasn't your normal little boy. The next Catholic school teacher was also a kindergarten teacher as the school wouldn't allow me into first grade because of my young age. It was a complete bust as well and I would purposely do things wrong as I was completely bored and fed up. We lived with my great grandmother and she had been a teacher and was a wonderful person. She was part of the reason for my being smart. We unfortunately moved to another town and away from my great grandmother and thus began my journey into hell. My mother put me into another Catholic school when I was four and I started first grade. I remember being so glad to finally get to first grade but that happiness soon turned into an absolute nightmare. My teacher was a sixty year old religious fanatic and was insane. She had the idea in her head that a child that didn't go to church and Sunday school on Sunday must be beaten on Monday to drive out the devil. My father worked third shift and was working the wee hours of the morning on Sunday. I had no way to get to church so every Monday I was beaten numerous times. My parents didn't believe my stories and did nothing. Two others in my class were in the same predicament and we would spend our time on the playground planning on how to either kill the insane teacher or run away. We began by skipping school every Monday. Sometimes it was just me as they chickened out. When I told the teacher I couldn't see the writing on the blackboard she moved me to the back of the class. We moved again to another town and my mother talked the public school into letting me into second grade at age five. The teacher was a complete and utter idiot and now I was fed up dealing with school altogether. To complicate things there were children two years older in my class that were bullies. The idiot teacher just stood by and watched these bullies beat the hell out of me as she thought this was the way boys played. I basically zoned out and skipped school many times so I could have a day at least once in awhile without insanity.

My world from age four consisted of surviving in a world full of crazy people and nobody helped me. To complain only got me into more trouble so I quit telling anybody. I'm telling you this story to make you realize that your child may be in the same predicament as I was as a child. Don't assume that this idiot teacher won't harm your child.
