BTW, I would love to know why you insist on making this personal with comments such as "YOUR school" and they way "YOU" do it. This is just a conversation--not a way to score points off of each other. Of course I can only comment on what is done in my school and district. To do otherwise would be irresponsible on my part. For some reason though, you want to take your experiences and nationalize them, something I have very carefully kept from doing.

Take a deep breath, relax, it's just a conversation.

See when you run out of fact you can always try to insult the other person-it is predictable.

I digress.

You say I am trying Nationalize this.

Could be I am talking about the National Conversation. Are you aware there has been a National discussion for at the past ten years (and even the past 20 if you look hard enough) on this very topic, and some of us have been following along for a variety of reasons- I never was discussing your little microcosm,rather the trends nationally which show the mis diagnoses and cases of over medicating children who are labeled ADD or ADHD.

What are the CAPS for- well, Some people use CAPS while trying to communicate over the internet due to lack of interpersonal communication, to place emphasis upon a single word.

Some people take the manipulation of parents and children, with more than a scoff and a blow off.

Sorry if that is too *intense* for you dear.
