[quote=Anonymous]"Rowdy" can mean so many things, but the bottom line is that you are judging a 10 yr old as totally responsible for his/her behavior.  As a parent of a child with special needs myself, I know that even kids with two parents and a stable loving home can still be "rowdy."  There are lots of reasons for these behaviors in children-- do you really want to blame the kids themselves?  BASIS needs to do what other schools and institutions do -- meet the kids where they are and give them structure, services, and unconditionally kindness until they get it together.  10 year old kids who are "rowdy" are not axe murderers, they are kids with needs that should be met by BASIS.

And Miss Judgmental PP, if your child is smart, organized, kind, hard-working, successful and specifically not "rowdy," well, you are blessed.  I hope you know how LUCKY you are.  It's not your parenting or your genes; you just won the child temperament lottery.  So far, that is; time will tell.  And let's see how the sibling does.  Good luck.  [/quote]
