[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 92511, member: 4270"] This is only my second post on this board and I haven't exactly looked around much so forgive me. I am sure this topic has been discussed to death. My son was diagnosed with adhd in 3rd grade. He was placed in "Special Education", which they call something different now seems they change the name of it every year. Anyway I am understanding in order for him to get out of this program he has to "earn" his way out. The program was great for him in the beginning. It showed him he wasn't dumb and that he could learn and the medications helped him calm down. This is his first year in highschool and it is starting out rough. Guess between changing schools and puberty that would be enough to make a kid with adhd have problems. The one complaint I have is that in the past couple of years at junior high he was able to get a few "classes out". He was then put under a microscope by the regular ed teachers. He could make the slightest mistake and he was done for and out of there class. Where as a fellow regular ed student could do the same and not get in trouble. Anyone dealt with any of this? Has anyones child actually gotten out of Special Education? How did he/she do it? Of course I have told him til I am blue in the face - if you don't like the program do what you need to do to get out. But it almost seems impossible for them to get out. Thanks [/QUOTE]
