talk about identifying "aggressive" kids and giving them a "different trajectory"

So what's to stop them from targeting outspoken kids that are not ill at all?

Or the kids who say "My mom said that Bush is a blithering idiot and if I could vote I'd vote for Kerry"?

Or the shy kid? Or the one who looks like she might wear Berkenstocks one day?

This is appalling.

When my son was in 3rd grade his teacher told me he had ADD because he refused to sit in his seat - when he was concentrating he liked to have one foot under his rear in the chair.

She wanted him medicated. Of course I ignored her worthless ass.

My son is now 18 years old. As a high school senior he was on the Academic Decathlon team and his team came in 4th in the state (the first and third place teams have alternated winning the NATIONAL championship for about 10 years now).

He is in college, studying journalism (there IS hope for the future . . .) and he has all "A"s.

He doesn't have ADD. Never did.

Scary that these clueless numbskulls can "send" a kid for testing. What happens if you don't want to medicate your child after their "diagnosis"? Will they expel him?

Sickening.
