Understanding that any child who shows a problem is labeled LD because the schools get more money for them, and LD is not counted in the final scores, the answer is yes.

I pulled my daughter to homeschool because they wanted to label her ADD.
She is now six and in the middle of the 2nd grade curriculum. She could not perform with the chaos in her classrooms.
All I and my Psychiatrist ex-boss who evaluated her saw was $$$$$$$ for the school.
