Just a little rant.

My 17 year old AS son told me today that at school they are studying Buddhism.

His teacher told him that according to Buddhist teaching, his Aspergers' & skin condition are the result of behaving badly in a past life!  ( the teacher did say that he personally didn't believe this.)

I know a little about Buddhism &  with the help of the internet, spent a couple of hours trying to convince John that this is not always the case.
I think that I succeeded, but John tends to believe that the teachers know everything & can't be wrong.

Anyone else had a stupid comment made such as this?


Some teachers are dire, but then teaching pays poor, so you are not going to always get bright grads with 1st from a top uni teaching the subject. Asides, do you expect teachers not to make mistakes?
