[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is astounded "get this" that her SIL doesn't want her kid in a classroom with table flippers. That must be striking too close for home for OP. She should worry more about her kids getting the help they need, so their behavior is under control, instead of bashing people like her SIL who want a happy and safe school environment. SIL also gets to prioritize her own child's education and needs, not just OP.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s the point at all. OP is astounded that a social worker who has the education and professional exposure to the kids who need help AND the systems that help them would fall prey to some anecdotal evidence of issues at schools she’s never been in and/or make such gross victim blaming overgeneralized statements about kids who need support and the families they come from. Lots of people feel like OP’s SIL, but typically I expect professionals to have a more empathetic and nuanced view of the population they serve. [/quote]

SIL didn't do anything to fail the population she serves - she serves them.  That doesn't mean she has to subject her own child to anything she doesn't think will good for them.  People get to do in their private lives what they think is best for their families.  Implying that a social worker should send her own child to a school she isn't comfortable with is like saying a police officer should be fine taking their child to a high crime area because that's the population they serve.[/quote]
