While I still worry about how that teacher will act with other children, having
'got away with it' this time, I certainly agree with you Kate that there is a
time to fight and a time to run - and for each of us, it is only ourselves that
can know which is right for us at any one time.

I suggest that, as I stated days ago, that how we handle situations in
our lives will vary. Sometimes we don't have time or energy or simply
are not in a position to do the best thing for the world and have to
pare our lives down to do what is best for our children. And there are
the worst times in ones life when getting dinner on the table for the
children, making sure that they have clean clothes, and getting them to
school on time with their homework completed is all that one can manage.
I am not entirely certain everyone can understand what that feels like.
But having lived that for a period of time, I know others understand.
Perhaps that's why our opinions on this vary. What we think we would
do, what we would like to do, and what is possible are not the same
things sometimes.
