Any advice? I’m open to listening to the wisdom of the collective

Professional offices in the private sector ( architects, lawyers, CPA, doctors of all sorts) are completely free to say, “ We are not a good fit. We recommend this firm /office.” Amazingly, in the free market of private professionals there are people who are not only skilled in handling the most difficult problems but these problems are **welcome” and eagerly accepted.
So....When a person **willingly** chooses to work for a socialist-entitlement program that government functionary must accept all the problems associated with socialism. If the government school functionary chooses to continue in this line of work, then he must accept that parents and kids will not be held accountable. They should not whine about how hard their job is. They should have done due diligence before starting down the road in preparing for that socialist-collectivist job.
In the government socialist school collective the parent has the First Amendment Right not to respond to government functionary’s efforts in contacting her. The parent has the First Amendment Right to be angry and demand collectivist worker’s dismissal and since ( by law) the child is under police threat to be in the school, some poor government employee is stuck with the child and his parent without having the means to dish out consequences to either the parent and the child.
I will give two examples:
A general practice physician fired me from his practice because I refused to have a sonogram after a questionable mammogram. I had a good reason for refusal, but he also had every right to fire me.
Please notice the summer camp advertisements in the New York Times Sunday edition. There are camps for **every** child regardless of interest or disability, and there are even camps/schools for children who are defiant. In the private sector workers do not see these children as a burden ( in contrast to workers in our collectivist-socialist K-12 school). They are **welcomed** by staff who are well experienced in handling these challenges.
Solution: Complete separation of school and state.
Amen. When I was a kid in the late 50's; I used to marvel at the ads in science magazines; showing the American people zooming around the skies in flying cars or personal rocket packs by 1975. Here we are in 2012, and all we have to show for ourselves is a Toyota Prius???
LOLOL at 'public educators', who have crushed the creativity and imagination of American children. Blackberries?
Whatever.
