[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very forthcoming with my son's school regarding his medications and outside evaluations by doctors.  I started to become more guarded about what I shared once his medications were becoming more important to the school than what he needed in the classroom.  Multiple people would ask him "did you take your medicine today?" any time he was not 100% compliant with their expectations.  [/quote]

We had this experience (from the principal) and "maybe you should try more medication mom."[/quote]

Yes!  This has been my experience (as a teacher, unfortunately) and it is part of the reason why as a mom, I wish to keep my child's medication or lack of it private.

[b]I feel like a lot of people posting here in favor of sharing information about meds with teachers have had a much better experience in the schools -- or else are unaware of how condescending or inappropriate teachers CAN be (not all of them of course) when they have certain information.[/b][/quote]

When a teacher or administrator shows signs of being condescending or inappropriate, THAT is when I start to withdraw or withhold information.  Not before that.  I don't go into a meeting assuming the worst of people.  But that's just my life philosophy.[/quote]
