[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Report her. She's not qualified to make a diagnosis. Also, consider putting him in another TK class. [/quote] Report a teacher who cared enough about a child’s wellbeing to speak up? Would you rather that he or she did not say anything based on years of experience with children this age? Early diagnosis can make a world of difference not only in educational outcomes but in terms of self-esteem. Lack thereof can lead to depression and substance abuse down the line. Years and years of being called out or even punished for misbehavior in school leaves kids feeling like garbage. Your suggestion to “report “ a professional trying to give a parent an early clue about how their child is behaving is just awful.[/quote]
