    Thanks Jerry for your input. The schools here say she doesn't have a 
learning disability and is not "resource" material. ADD and ADHD can be 
controlled by meds and this is why it is not a learning disability. OOf 
ourse
the state here (TN) just put a hold on diability claims for AD/HD but she is 
now diagnosed as being bi-polar too. She is not controlled, we can't find a 
drug that helps at all.  I am just at the end of my rope and can't help this 
poor child at all. If I could afford too home school her I would but that 
isn't possible unless I win the lottery..(and TN won't ever have a Lottery 
either)    Thanks again, hope too hear froom you again..:)
