Do you know how to teach a blind child how to read? You must be very talented.

Why are you addressing me this way? Was I in any way critical of you? I meant to say that while I would not under any circumstances send my children to the local public schools, you're entirely free to do as you like. That's still my position, and no criticism of you is expressed or implied.

You said:

"There is no circumstance under which I could be persuaded to let the local school district to get their mitts on these children."

I pointed out that there actually may be an instance where you might. If something like your child became blind, then you might have to reconsider that option.

You said:

"Well, I didn't ask you to. We all pays our money and takes our chances, as they say."

Which I thought was a very interesting kind of tacky comment.

My comment about you being very talented may have been out of hand, but I still ask

"So if you had a child that is deaf, blind, in a wheel-chair, or has down syndrome then you wouldn't put them in public school for those problems?"
