I started this before, but something happened and I couldn't finish. Anyhow, this poster's problem made me upset. I have a son who had ADHD in elementary school. I sent him to one of the "best" schools in the area, and one time I went to a teacher's conference, where the teacher-who should totally know better!-told me that my son "drove her crazy" because he "never finished anything"! She was also a yeller, and verbally aggressive-she would get frustrated and call kids names, etc. Needless to say, she was fired-Yay!, but I immediately took my son out of that school. He went on to a technical school to learn a trade, and seems to be doing well. The school seems to be doing better now, but I really wish she hadn't been there as long as she was, who knows what kind of negative impact she may have made on how many kids! So, number 1, get to a school where they are more understanding/accomodating, and 2, find special remedial programs for your child. Make sure he knows how much you love and value him, and don't emphasize his weaknesses, find his strengths and celebrate them! Good luck and God Bless!
