And the parents of EACH individual child can, and if they're angry enough,
do, walk right into the principal's office. Believe me, if parents want to
be heard, they can.  Same with school board meetings. Parents who complain
are heard. Parents who show up to complain with legal representation get
heard really fast.

Want to slice off that limb behind you? Ignoring your "let's treat all
gifted children the way I think mine should have been treated" philosophy,
what schools do you think IDEA and Civil Rights legislation apply to? Let's
give you a hint-it isn't private ones. Recently a school ended up in court
because they expelled a student for getting MARRIED within the school year.
The school? Hutchinson School, the top girl's secondary school in Memphis.

Students have many more protections as far as legal rights and due process
in public schools than in private ones. Private schools can always cut a
check and say "Bye-see you later". Public schools cannot.
