[QUOTE="klmno, post: 118281, member: 3699"] Thank you, all! I emailed the principal about a meeting to go over my difficult child's psychiatric report next week and mentioned that he'd told me something disturbing that I thought they should be aware of. I'll discuss it in detail with her next week- she doesn't automatically go broadcast everything berfore thinking, like some of the admin. assts. do. I also told her that if my difficult child had fabricated this, I would definitely want to know- although I really don't think he did. I'm not sure how much of he saw and knows for sure and how much might be gossip getting out of hand- which would still need to be stopped. I feel for the other difficult child if a shread of this is true- he obviously can't help what's going on with him and is not getting it. Really, I worry about him more than the other kids- I just don't get why a school teaches all staff and teachers to look out for signs of child abuse, violence, breaking code of conduct, illness (fever, contagious symptoms), etc., but never teaches them a darn thing about signs of mental illness- even the more common things like depression, etc. It seems like the ones who notice that something is wrong in this area (like the nurse who posted yesterday) just happened to care and find out things on their own. Notice how when they all thought there was a simple catch-all answer of ADHD and the kid gets Ritilan or something to call him down- they all became qualified to diagnosis our kids. Well, I'm working on it- they need to become aware real quick!! Actually, the principal here might be willing to let someone come in and give a little class to the teachers/staff-we'll see! [/QUOTE]
