I had extensive contact with the public school system when the Catholic School asked my son to leave as he could not do the work. All they did was push drugs which I refused to allow and would not let him have. They kept trying to put "crutches" under him which I kept kicking out. I believed he would have to live in the real world and not the special ed world. He is a lovely, successful young man who just got married. The public school was his enemy. They push drugs like Halloween candy.
