[quote=Anonymous]It's like teaching. Some years, I get super easy breezy classes. They run well after just teaching them the routines. No drama. No real behavior issues. Easy. Other years, I get 1 or 2 very difficult, reactive kids and they really make the day difficult for everyone. Every 5-6 yrs, I get a class full of super difficult kids and those are the years I contemplate leaving teaching altogether. You never know what you're going to get. Ditto for parenting. I have one child with ADHD. I don't mind it at home because I have the knowledge and capacity to deal with it. My brother was the same way as my kid so I know what it's like. One of my students has pretty severe ADHD but he also has emotional and academic concerns. His mother has no idea how to parent him and doesn't seem too interested in learning. Handing him a tablet is what she does (her words). She doesn't have any other kids. He counts for 3-4 easier children. [/quote]
