This is a parenting problem.

I think you also probably have a teacher problem and way too much day care. When I first went to kindergarten, I wasn't happy about it. Only many years later did I find enjoyment in subjects I learned. How many kids enjoy going to school, especially if you have to take a bus? But I think giving this stuff to little kids borders on outrageous.

I'm somewhat dubious about the diagnosis of depression in adolescents, but then you have teenagers attempting suicide. If they are successful, you've made the diagnosis too late.

The comment about self-esteem was supposed to be followed by /sarcasm, but I enclosed it within HTML < > and it vanished. Duh

That's a good example of how dangerous a little knowledge is.

Too many teachers are posing as doctors. Every parent that has come to my health food store has told me the teacher said the child should be on such and such medication.

You've never met my almost 6 yr old. This is a kid who truly loves going to school everyday. She doesn't take the bus though and her day is centered around Christ since she goes to a Christian school.
