Some idiots have no idea what being the parent of a severely disabled child is like.
They see everything through their own prism, their own experiences with “normal” children, and can’t understand why anyone would want to treat a disabled child in any way differently than a “normal” one.

If it works, fine. Let them do it.

Nearly a year ago, New York made plans to ban the use of electric shocks as a punishment for bad behavior, a therapy used at a Massachusetts school where New York State had long sent some of its most challenging special education students.I'd be very surprised if this therapy used electric shocks as punishment.
I'd be even more surprised if the author of the column understood the difference between positive punishment and negative reinforcement.
This sounds like a reason to homeschool, but I’m not sure I’d want the parents mentioned in this article to homeschool their children, given how they might turn out as adults.
