[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Thank you for your detailed explanation, PP.  There's nothing quite like hearing from someone who has actually been there and done that.

At the same time, I am trying to envision myself repeatedly dropping my own 6 year old child off at school knowing that at any time his explosive behavior could require the evacuation of his peers from the classroom....and I am just not seeing how that would ever be in the best interests of my child.  I would be concerned for my child's well being, basic dignity, privacy and, quite frankly, his reputation.

If these behavior issues are being caused by some sort of undiagnosed/untreated medical problem wouldn't that better be addressed within some sort of a medical setting?

FFS. Can you read?  We parents are EXTREMELY concerned, and working overtime to get our kids what they need (and get the school to do their part as well).  Kids are required by law to attend school-- they can't just be kept home, and not all families can afford to homeschool.  Are you suggesting that all kids with ADHD be institutionalized or something?  You seem to be thinking that there's some kind of magic bullet. There is not. this stuff takes time, a huge amount of parental resources, and a school genuinely interested in helping the child (most are not). [/quote]

Oh, I am sure that it's an extremely stressful situation for ALL concerned.  That was sort of my point.  I would, personally, not want to have to handle things like this but maybe this is the best they've got right now.[/quote]

If you don't want to work to identify and support disabled children, and have no resources to deal with 6 year old behavioral issues, then you should not be an elementary school teacher.  [/quote]
