[quote=Anonymous]Two things. First, I really don't get the logic. My child is at a preschool that is so bad it allows kids to throw rocks at each other, so my solution is to keep my kid in that crappy School for an extra year. Huh???

Also, I have an ADD kid, and we always worked with his teachers on issues that arose on an informal basis, often using ADD strategies and it was understood there MAY be ADD, but he was formally diagnosed and started medication when we, as parents, saw that there was a genuine academic impact and a need for more formal supports-- in MS.   Nobody can take your kid to a psychologist and diagnose him or her without your consent. And nobody can give them ADD meds if you don't allow it.  If a K teacher says I think your child has ADD and you aren't very, very sure, you say: what are you seeing that concerns you, specifically? what can we do to address those behaviors?  it seems like he is too young and still adjusting to school-- can we touch base in a couple months and see how things are going?  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please let me know if you have other any concerns.  That it, you address the problems, and wait to assign a label the child is older or needs something like a 504 or medication -- in YOUR opinion. [/quote]
