As a teacher I wholeheartedly agree. So many kids we get have clearly never heard, or at least never had enforced prior to K:

1. Be quiet, someone else is talking or its not time for talking
2. Wait, its not your turn
3. Multistep directions (ie: do X first, and only do Y after doing X.)

Parents, this is on you. [/quote]

I have 2 NT kids who do well in school, whose teachers gush about their behavior, and are just generally overall polite kids. And one kid with fairly severe ADHD and possible ASD who gets dysregulated and can be disruptive in class.

So which outcome is on me as a parent? Do you really think we’re parenting just one kid differently?

FWIW, we do have good relationships with his teachers, always answer school phone calls, attend frequent IEP meetings, are doing therapies and meds, and try to reinforce things at home the school is working on. But it’s hard and depressing to hear a teacher lay blame on parents entirely. [/quote]

I doubt anyone is critical of how hard it is to parent a child with diagnosed severe ADHD or compares that to a NT child who is making the classroom experience rough.[/quote]
