YES!  We completely agree.  It was well-known at our private that if your DC had ADHD NOT to mention to anyone because then there would be gossip, your child would be earmarked, and teachers would use the diagnosis as a reason to "give up".  I saw it happen over and over and over.  And the gossip mill just made it worse.  As a resutl, we didn't tell the school that DC had ADHD until I caught the teachers being abusive on Parent Observation Day.  Then I called a meeting and disclosed that DC might have ADHD.  Dumb dumb dumb.  The school didn't do anything for DC and the situation just became worse so we and our money left.  Those other parents who had ADHD diagnoses and kids were even on meds. learned from these experiences and never disclosed to the private school.  I wish that weren't the case, but in some schools it's just the excuse that lazy teachers or teachers who don't want to learn how to differentiate need to ignore your child.

The lesson I draw from your story is that you were in a really crappy school with some really crappy teachers. Regardless of your kid's diagnosis/lack of diagnosis, would you want your child in a school where adults gossiped about kids and were abusive?[/quote]

Sounds like the school we're in now. Sometimes you don't know that your kid has a diagnosis before you enroll, sometimes you believe that the negative posts were posted by just one or two disgruntled people…and then you see all the bad things others warned about happening to your kid who is "labeled."
