[quote=Anonymous]If I were you I would bring this up.  I was bullied by a teacher in elementary school (I was similar to your son) and it took my mom intervening to where the school finally took action.  They had to reprimand her and I ended up being switched out.  Someone people are just incrdibly immature and use their power to try to hurt kids they dont like.  That's where you have to go to the principal.  Because my mom was such a huge advocate for me, and fought it tooth and nail, and reminded me that it was NOT my fault, and then that was backed up the principal who was also upset at how I had been treated, it didn't really destroy my confidence in the way it might have.  I went on to be hugely academically successful the year after and then so on for my academic career, and I think a lot of that was my mom seizing back the narrative and not allowing me to be treated like a "bad kid" or juvenile delinquent (it was exactly the same behavior as you described- I'm an extrovert and would simply talk to my friends in class, ADHD things like fidgeting, drumming on things- same deal.  Traits which, btw, have helped me a lot in my life since then, as having good social skills and being friendly is a huge advantage).  Some people simply really dislike ADHD kids.  But as the mom of one I think you need to be his advocate and let him know this is NOT his fault. [/quote]
