Donuel,

I agree wholeheartedly with the view that you must give at least equal importance to helping your son to recover from the psychological abuse he has received from his school.

He must not be allowed to suffer any more.

"Sometimes it's petty little empire builders who care more about power and control than they do about kids."

Yes carol that is right.

Unfortunately there are idiot people (like the ones you have described) who will drop you into the workings of the system without good reason.

The rules of the system and its procedures are effectively a slow and intricately crafted machine.

And that is why Donuel needs to get a lawyer, and why he needs to learn how to use the machine and be informed about how it works so he can know what to expect.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember rightly, Gargoyle is giving a lawyers perspective.

Gargs point is a practical one and is useful advice and offers a solution to an increasingly well defined legal problem problem.

I completely agree with it.

Donuel has an obstacle to overcome and needs useful advice, he does not currently have the luxury of enjoying, however passionately, a debate about where the real evils of society lie.

Law is dry and passionless and does not react favourably to drama.
