[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How the hell is any kid diagnosed with ODD allowed to stay in school. The diagnosis is literally just an acknowledgment that the kid does not behave even remotely appropriately and should not be expected by anyone to do so.

Outrageous.[/quote]

Seriously.  I don't know how anyone can look at the symptoms and not understand that.

1. Often loses temper
2. Is often touchy or easily annoyed
3. Is often angry and resentful
4. Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults
5. Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules
6. Often deliberately annoys others
7. Often blames others for their own mistakes or misbehavior
8. Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past six months

How can those set of symptoms be accommodated?  How can any teacher teach someone with those symptoms?  How can any other students learn in a class with someone allowed to do those behaviors?  How can any parent blame a school system for not teaching a kid with those symptoms?[/quote]
