[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are these teaching methods you mention?  How do you know what methods would be best for your child?  If you are not an educator, this entire thread is bogus.

I'm so sick of parents thinking they 'know education'.  They don't and neither do you.[/quote]

NP here - parents may not "know education" per se but I think they do know their own children.  I think for the majority of children, they can thrive in a variety of educational environments - but for some kids, the educational environment can make a big difference.  Granted, there are probably plenty of parents out there that erroneously believe their kid is "the one that is different"; that just makes it harder for the families that have a valid case.  For the families I know that have a child where educational environment makes a big difference, it is not the parent being hyper sensitive - it is also the school and teachers giving them feedback, usually from early ages to help the family guide the child to the best match for success.  Schools and classrooms can vary quite a bit on dimensions that don't make a difference to most families, but do make a difference to others.
