I perfected “I’m sick” in kindergarten. My mother finally quit sending me. I vividly remember the work sheet with “Color the 5 Bears Brown.” I wanted slam my head on the table repeatedly and make it be over. A psychologist friend wanted to drug my son for ADHD. I absolutely refused. Poor kid was brilliant and bored to death. If it wasn’t for my ex-husband, my son would have been home schooled.
It is astounding how far our society has fallen.
