[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a kid with ADHD so maybe my opinion isn't needed but I find this whole incident really kind of overblown by the school.  A kid brings an object to school, pokes another kid with it -- so what? -- it isn't a weapon.  Asking him whether he's purposely used it to hurt someone is so vague and meaningless.  Kudos to him for being honest.

To me this whole incident is so overwrought, so laden with moral dilemmas and ethical traps, and so completely over the top.  Teacher should have said "Kevin, give that to me and I will give it back to you after class."  End of story. This is not about adhd to me, it's about overdramatizing and the stupidity of zero tolerance policies.

Medicate for this???  Omigod.  Again, I don't have a kid with adhd, but I could see ANY child falling into this horrible trap and I feel so bad for your son, OP.[/quote]

Agree with all of this.  (Although I'm a proponent of meds when indicated, but this wouldn't be the deciding moment for me in that debate!)[/quote]
