[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are clearly monitoring this thread closely but you only respond to the posts that are not about medication.  Even though you posted about medication, and that was the point, you are not responding to any of the posts from those of us who have been there, done that, and think you are doing a real disservice to your DS.  You aren't even defending your choice (and its not clear to me WHY you are so adamantly opposed to medication), just ignoring the whole topic that you raised. Even the parents who have chosen not to medicate have said that under certain circumstances they would, and your DS seems to really be under those circumstances.  He's suffering and you are refusing the treatment that could help him.  Since you are a doctor, I'm pretty shocked that you are withholding medical treatment from your DS.

You went to the principal early on, going over the teacher's head.  I can just imagine your dukes up approach.  Perhaps you would have had more success if you hadn't gone all nuclear. Who cares about insulting the babysitter?  That sucks, its inexcusable, but when you went to the principal about it you pretty much declared yourself a PITA and therefore didn't get listened to on the more important issue.

let me tell you how the school sees you: You have a child who is difficult to handle and you are not being a partner in that situation. Rather you are blaming everyone else.  No one at the school likes you.  The teacher doesn't like you.  The principal doesn't like you.  I've got to wonder if the other parents like you.  As a result of this animosity, they will not go the extra mile to help your DS, especially because they don't see you helping your DS from your end.  Meanwhile, he is suffering.  I don;t see a good future for him unless you get your act together.  Sad.[/quote]

I am not blaming anyone. We have the worst teacher in the school this year. It is well known. She is sailing along to retirement so the story goes. 
The baby sitter said hello to the teacher and attempted to shake hands with her, and she waded past her to someone else. Maybe babysitter looked too common, but that is too much. Also, baby sitter NEVER complains about that kind of thing. Anyway, I am not sure that I need to justify my actions. And any teacher who takes it out on the child needs to retire. Teacher is mad because there is one kid who is not on medication who has her work a bit harder. Nowhere have I heard that the purpose of medicating children was to make the teachers happy. [/quote]
