whatever friend...... no apology expected.... or needed...
...Figure of speech??????? it seemed more like a description of what YOU said YOU would do.....
Doesn't matter....
We are all just expressing our opinions.... but bitch IS a feminine term at least according to Funk & Wagnalls, when used as a noun...
" To bitch" about something,, is non gender,, but then it's a verb...
my bad for coming across, sounding so critical.
skydive softly skydive often skydive with friends
It takes more then just the teacher saying a child needs to go on meds. There is a process called a staffing that the parents also attend and can speak up. Most times it takes months before the process is completed.

That's interesting because I know of a situation with an adult (my exhub) who is/was an alcholic, but his parents were in denial about that so they told their doctor that he was depressed and should be on prozac so the dr. wrote the script. Hell, my ex didn't even have to go to the dr. office.
Same thing happens with kids. Not a whole lot of testing going on these days.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I would check the laws in the state where the children attend school, because if a staffing isn't done, then the school district is setting it's self up for a law suit.

QuoteMy thread on Ritalin seems to be getting hijacked with regard to ADHD and treatment, so I thought I'd create this poll here.
My personal thoughts are that ADHD is very real in the child and adult populations. I also believe that it is being overdiagnosed and overdrugged.
What are other peoples' thoughts on this? This issue is deeply personal for me...
I think Matt Stone and Trey Parker addressed this pretty well!

Neer diagnosed, never prescribed any ADHD medication.
I suffered all the ADHD symptoms for the first 30 years of my life. Finally - at age 30 - my coping machanisms collapsed and I quit the Armed Forces, went back to university and finally got control of my sleeping habits. For the first time in my life I understood why a nyone could be cheerful in the morning!
Controlling my sleeping habits eliminated half of my ADHD symptoms.
I still get ADHD symptoms if I miss a night's sleep, but at least now I understand why.

Not all teachers are female ( bitch),,,, nor are they DUMB..... ( BTY have YOU ever dealt with the energy and dynamics of a classroom full of 6 or 7 year olds????)
Figure of speech. I know not all teachers are stupid or women (actually bitch isn't just a feminine term) .... I actually have a lot of respect for most of them. I can imagine how difficult it would be to control a bunch of 6 year olds BUT medication is not the answer. I don't want any unqualified person telling me my child needs to be medicated. Even if a physician says it, I'll get about ten second opinions before I medicate my child. My reasons are from personal experience with prescription-happy doctors.
Figure of speech again. I'm not actually going to smack someone across the head, but it makes my point across. I might be a very angry person at times, but I am definitely not a violent person by any means. I was never hit as kid, and don't plan on laying a finger on mine. There's other ways to discipline.
My apologies if my words came off the wrong way. I tend to do that when I feel extremely strongly about a subject.
