True, but it's difficult when the school HARRASSES you.  This is embarrassing 
for me to talk about because it makes me feel like a bad
parent. (I have a son with a degree in biology who is a Lt. in the Marine 
Corp so I must have done something right sometime or other....)  They used to 
call me at work so much when I had my Civil
Service job that when they offered the buy-outs I quit, which I bitterly 
regret now.  They are trying to say that all of his problems
are my fault.  I have forgotten his midication a couple of times in
the morning, but they accuse me of forgetting it all the time. (I mispelled 
medication, sorry)  He doesn't have a lot of friends and
the other kids tease him mercilessly.  Nothing is done about the teasing, but 
when he finally reacts (he doesn't hit people) he's the
one that gets in trouble and I get a phone call.  What I'm telling you
is only the tip of the ice-berg. If I tried to tell you everything I'd have 
to write a novelette in here to tell you all.  Guess I could
write a chapter a day...:-)
