MARK PROBERT (On 13 Apr 97) was overheard expounding to BOB MOYLAN
 MP> I instructed Josh to tell the teacher this:
 MP>  I am afraid to stay in your class as you have given so-and-so
 MP> notice that being a sneak is OK, and that he can do it to me again.
 MP> Your first responsibility to a student is to provide a safe learning
 MP> environment.
 MP> He then goes to the Principal's office until the end of the period. He
 MP> only had to do it once to each teacher.
 Noted and filed, with thanks, for future reference.  Not really
 feasible for an elementary student.
 MP> I have just learned that the school district is providing twenty hours
 MP> of teacher training in classroom management for ADHDers. The
 MP> instructor is Barry McNamara, Ph. D. professor of psych at Dowling
 MP> College in Oakdale, NY and an author of a book on ADHD. And my Friday
 MP> lunch buddy. You would like him. No nonsense, kid oriented, a real
 MP> WYSIWYG type of guy.
 Locally they are still using a 2 hour video and showing it in 15 min
 segments during weekly faculty meetings... most of them still just
 don't get it.
 MP> I suggested that they hire him for training two years ago BEFORE Josh
 MP> started school. He graduates in June. Just in time for someone else.
 Closing the barn door...??
... I Swear I had a good one...
