[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is kind of a no-win.  You are failing to acknowledge the fact that most of the professionals you name are ethical, well-meaning, hard-working, and on the side of parents.  It's as if you think there is going to be an outpouring from each and every therapist, educator, and administrator of secrets they can't wait to unburden themselves about in which parents are duped and children mistreated.   I'm cynical, but I'm not this cynical.

I think 100% of the people in the school system like to think of themselves as ethical, well-meaning and so forth. Thinking it doesn't make it so. We all need to reflect on our actions regardless of our professional and constantly ask ourselves did I really do the right thing? Did I really operate with integrity here? Did I do something that could cause harm? Am I too complacent? Am I expanding my horizons and trying to learn new techniques and new ways to reach kids? Is this how I would want my own child treated?

Yes, parents do crappy things too and feel free to start a thread of confessions of crappy things we've done as parents usually with the best of intentions and sometimes trying to convince ourselves it was the right thing to do.[/quote]
