i re-read your post and totally agree, there was nothing inflammatory in what you said. you make perfect sense, as do all your posts on this thread. my LD daughter attends a private LD school in Annandale, and my older kids are in private Catholic prep schools in DC. as i said earlier, we are raising my daughter the same way, feeding her the same food, and sent her to the same Catholic elementary school as her sibs attended, prior to diagnosis of her LD. She is on medication and that in combination with the LD teachers at her school, is how she is managing to learn and become a successful student.

This has **nothing** to do with inflamatory. It has everything to do with being a strawman argument!

Softball moms said, "I do hate to burst your bubble though, but good parents come from every spectrum of society, not just those that are in your church."

The above is a strawman. Rational posters will see this immediately and I stand by the following:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a strawman! I did **not** say that good parents ONLY come from my church.

What am I supposed to do? Argue against a strawman of **your** creation?

Only nearly every thread, you will use strawman arguments.

Do you do use strawman arguments routinely in your personal and professional life? Doing this to your own children would be **very** disorienting to a young child, and might account for some of their learning and behavior difficulties. They are defenseless against this debating technique. I certainly hope that you are not doing this to your children in your classroom. It would be educational and emotional child abuse.
