[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know kids with ADHD at all the major privates (Sidwell, STA, St Patricks, Landon, etc..). They are medicated so it's under control.  Is that what you mean?  Or is it a kind that can't be, or for others reasone isn't, under control?[/quote]

Can the OP answer this?  My DC has some ADHD indications and is on Ritalin.  Post-Ritalin, he's a pretty perfect kid -- gets straight As, is a music virtuoso, is a stellar athlete, and gets the most glowing reports from his teachers.  It was a different story before a couple years ago when we started with the Ritalin.  Teachers would complain that he was disruptive and would take ages to finish tests and classroom work (and homework was always a struggle).  Are you asking about a school that takes kids with ADHD who do NOT take Ritalin or equivalent medication?  Having seen the miraculous difference in my DC, I can't imagine (read CAN - NOT - IMAGINE) not getting meds.  I guess they don't work the same for all kids though.  [/quote]
