 Mine aren't on any, although that may still happen.  Jeremy has his 
roblems.
 He likes to be the clown and I have not put a total stop to that.  It is
 kidda nice to hear a few jokes while working.  But when the tempers flare,
 frustrations or running away from the work.  Well it gets tough.  Today we
 had a really good day.  I let him drink pepsi (just like I drink coffee) and
 he functioned beautifully until the last 1 1/2 of school.  I found out that
 anything we do that is highly stimulating has to be the very last thing we
 do.  Well I will see how it works.  I do give grades A, B, and T.  I feel
 if they are doing C work needs more time so they get a T.  They are very
 proud of the A's and Jeremy really doesn't mind the B's.  Actually my
 academically smart child is more problems.  Some people have said that their
 children are on less medication.  I think it depends on the severity of the
 disorders.
