It was Chantelle Bissaillion’s worst nightmare on Monday when a school official arrived at her home just before noon looking for her daughter Amelia, whom she had brought to school that morning.
The Picton, Ont., parent and her husband then learned their nine-year-old — who has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) — had gone missing during morning recess and that police were involved in a search.
While a neighbour searching town ultimately found and brought Amelia home in the early afternoon, Bissaillion, a mother of three, remains upset and shaken.
“You trust these schools to take your kid from the age of three, sometimes four … and they’re supposed to be safe,” she said. “How can I send [my kids] back to school now?”
The problem is governments defunding public schools while forcing integration.
The goal is to drive parents to use private schools, whether they have special needs children or don’t want their children to be de-prioritized in favor of special needs children.
Once they go over, they almost always become advocates for further cutting public school funding.
Like…
It’s should be obvious the problem is lack of funding, and the only solution is more money into public schools…
But the wealthy who want to destroy public education know people often don’t think logically about their kids and almost never long term about the next batch of kids that don’t include their own.
It’s disappointing to see so many people continually falling for billionaire propaganda
But it’s especially important here, because it’s producing more kids who won’t be able to notice this shit when they’re adults.
I have a friend who adopted an FASD child in Ontario. The family tried using the regular school system but the hoops they had to jump through, and the lack of funding for 1-on-1 care, became too much to deal with.
They finally decided to place the child in a religious private school where he had the freedom (and monitoring) that he needed, ie: when he became frustrated he was able to go outside and race around the church.
Maybe Drug Fraud could better fund 1-on-1 care in schools with that $29M he was going to spend on a private fucking jet.
