I have had two conversations in the last 24 hours with Mothers who are thinking of drugging their boys, because they can’t fit in at school.

Both Mothers agree that Common Core Math is insane, but they are thinking of drugging their children to conform to the standards.
War on Boys is winning.

My youngest had the worst parent/teacher conference ever. She called him a failure and said that drugs were needed. I, of course, did not see it that way and we managed to get him through 6th grade without drugs and out of that school.
That Summer we sent him to Sylvan for evaluation, to make the story short Sylvan said he was pretty smart and had actually learned something. I told Sylvan that I wanted them to teach him how to study and to motivate him. The next 6 years (including) honors courses he did straight A.
