Well, this could be your answer. For example, if the child normally got a booster at lunch and did not get it until after the field trip, that could be why the behavior was so off. And in fairness to the teacher, if he/she hasn't seen the child when they didn't get their meds at the right time, they may not have realized what a problem it would be.

I have a child with severe ADHD. Her first grade teacher didn't really believe us, until the day DH forgot to give her the medication in the morning before school. By 9:30 she was in the office, and the teacher said, "OK, now I get it!"

I always volunteer for field trips like this whether it is school or scouts because she needs constant 1-1 supervision. She is fast and impulsive. I would never expect another parent to be able to give her that type of supervision, especially if she did not get her meds on time.[/quote]
