this thread is starting to look like a flame war zone...

My mrs works with traveler kids whenever they are occasionally brought to school..
She likes these kids and enjoys working with them.

[I believe she also makes home visits to camp sites to discuss educational needs with the families prior to joining school,
but can't confirm this as she is asleep right now]

But from her point of view she finds it frustrating and disappointing
when they are making good progress with education,
and socialising well with other kids,
only to be withdraw by their parents...

Just contributing this from a reasonably neutral corner...
