Some Autistic Parents demand that their local school system pay for one-on-one certified and trained teachers to handle their kids. In listening to all these parents rational for their demands I must say that; I see your very valuable points. However; I also believe that we all must take care of our own responsibilities in America and if one chooses to have children they roll the dice. Perhaps an Autism Child is not what they had hoped for, but it is indeed the reality they must deal with and take responsibility for of course. I do not believe that these Autistic Children should "Expect" the government to deal with this problem, as really the Government did not create it, The parents did. I understand their hardship and always view every situation from every angle. You know I too have had difficulty in my own life, havent we all, as life is that way, but that is the way it is. I did not see anyone out there helping me during any times of hardship, nor did I expect them too? Yet many of these parents are now asking, no you are telling US and Everyone to pay for their responsibility, because it puts them at a hardship? Why? Or should I say why do they feel this way and believe that the taxpayer should pay for these costs, when currently there are 20-30 kids in a classroom for their own children? Life throws us curves. In this case these parents have made a choice and took a gamble and threw the dice and now they appear to want to renege on the results? How very interesting indeed. Consider this and your responsibilities as a parent in 2006. |
