[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually the child doesn’t have special needs. He was never potty trained because his parents never did it. There are plenty of kids raised on devices. If you want old school teaching, I’d recommend Catholic schools. What you will find there is very much like my public education in the 80s (grammar, spelling, handwriting, math facts, etc). [/quote]

Are you the former kindergarten teacher? If so, then notwithstanding the teacher shortage, it might be a good thing for everyone that you retired.[/quote]

I'm the former K teacher (didn't retire, got a better job instead).  But I didn't post the above.  I was in a school once where a parent gave my grade level colleague a puppy pad so her kid could defecate there instead of the toilet cause that's how they did it at home.  I kid you not.  The nurse got involved and we all helped to properly potty train this child.  He didn't have any special needs, but perhaps the parents did. [/quote]

Good for you all. Some kids need public school to act as a backstop when their parents don't/can't provide what they need. I'm glad that you were able to help.[/quote]

I’m glad you were able to help also, BUT that’s not what should have happened.  It should have been made clear to the parent that if this was needed/required the child did not meet the minimum qualifications for K.  Ya’ll would be happy to help enroll said kid in pre-school/daycare until such time that they could meet the minimum entrance requirements for K which is being fully potty trained.[/quote]
