[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of us know why our children are depressed, have anxiety, need educational coaches? Serious question.

School is too demanding, children in middle school are not developmentally able to handle the high level executive functions required Of them.

The situation isn't new.  Kids have been dropping out of high school or barely passing for decades and decades.  We have better supports and awareness now for differences like learning disabilities like dyslexia and for attention problems like ADHD, but still a huge percentage of kids who have these conditions are missed.    ADHD does not occur more often in boys than girls, but it is diagnosed more in boys.

Many school districts don't have people trained in diagnosing dyslexia even on staff, let alone reading specialists trained in teaching kids with dyslexia to read.

I just watched a documentary called Road Trip Nation: Being You.   It is for free online. The stories are the same over and over again.  [/quote]
