I should have included Private school teachers as well..in 1st grade my daughter (and 23 other youngsters) experienced such a nut. A number of us pulled our children out and the teacher is no longer teaching. It's a good thing.
I know of a few nutty public school teachers that shouldn't be in charge of our little darlings. The union keeps them in their positions.
The majority of ps teachers I know of are wonderful. Same goes for private school teachers and homeschool teachers.
Randy Yates should have removed the children, yes. I think in the days to come we'll learn more about the Montana man. While he may be pro homeschool, his wife won the decision to put the kiddos in public school. Unfortunately this probably should have been the best decision years ago. This woman obviously needed serious help. So very sad for the children...soooo sad.
