OK, let me try again. :o) I don't believe that even if child will 
learn something from teacher like Snape , it is worth it. The 
emotional scars which such learning often leaves is not worth it.


If teacher is uncapable or chooses not to stop the abuse, i will not 
let my kid to step a foot in such school , BUT I will also raise hell 
if the teacher himself uses abusive methods.


Again, I am happy that such methods worked for you. Judging by your 
posts you seem to be a very compassionate person, but I stand by my 
opinion that for the vast majority of children such methods do not 
work.



I will be happy to change my opinions about Snape mmethods, but I 
don't have canon to do so yet. Do we even know as someone asked 
earlier that all Snape students pass the OWLS? Do we even know that 
he is effective as a teacher, at least grade wise?
