Sharon Price (On 06 Feb 97) was overheard expounding to John Prather
 SP> True, but it's difficult when the school HARRASSES you.
 SP> They are trying to say that all of his problems are my fault.
 SP> I have forgotten his midication a couple of times in the morning,
 SP> but they accuse me of forgetting it all the time.
 SP> What I'm telling you is only the tip of the ice-berg. If I tried
 SP> to tell you everything I'd have to write a novelette in here
 If you care to get a lot more specific on exactly what the school
 admins/teachers are saying and/or doing there are enough of us in
 this echo who have probably gone through the same things to give you
 some advice and specific references on how to start _making_ them do
 what they are supposed to be doing for your child.
 I don't recall that you have mentioned just where in Indiana you are
 but here are some telephone numbers for CHADD in your general area.
 It's pretty obvious that your and your son need an advocate who is
 experienced in dealing with the schools, the folks at CHADD can help
 with this.
 SP> This is embarrassing for me to talk about because it makes me feel
 SP> like a bad parent.
 Don't be ... parenting style doesn't cause ADD/ADHD.
