This is not my child, but actually a friend's son who is in this situation. A small rural southern school is moving elementary dyslexic and autistic children into separate classes "taught" by the elementary school secretary. Meetings with the school board have been futile. Meetings with the elementary principal have resulted in suggestions that she teach him herself. What are the legalities of having an untrained, non-certified, essentially glorified babysitter in charge of this class? Can this really happen?
