Go Irish, indeed! (Aren't they looking FINE this year?) Interesting your report re schools/ learning disabilities. The kids I know -- who grew up alongside my son -- the ADHD ones came from incredibly chaotic families. That the school district should have to provide a one-on-one 'attendant' for these kids sickens me. Should be the same across the board. Besides which the kids are being propagandized. yuck!

FYI, although your personal experience may show that the ADHD kids came from chaotic households, I can affirm to you that that is certainly not universal. Sometimes these so-called "short bus" kids, as a previous poster so quaintly put it, are from regular hard working families who deal with an incredibly difficult situation. Most of the posters on this site who have no one-on-one experience with these kids may want to stop with the generalizations.
