[QUOTE="Whysper1976, post: 234, member: 2447"] Thanks for your replies!! I would like to think that my SD is one that has the child's best interests at heart but ... to quote the principal "If a Child is diabetic, we're going to give him insulin." Well, that is one way to look at it - IF his diagnosis is a chemical imbalance...a MEDICAL condition. Drugs that affect the mind scare me, and it's not a decision I will take lightly. Meanwhile his teacher this year is GREAT with him. I've seen more progress in his school work in the last three weeks than I did all last year. Some of the other school personnel aren't as willing to take the time to deal with his issues, unfortunately. Not sure how cooperative they will be. We have been requesting Learning Disability (LD) testing for my older son for two years and they keep putting us off. They have retained him, placed him in a reading tutor program, and his last principal was so bold as to make a GUESS as to my child's IQ!!!! That really made me mad. Everyone knows there is a problem, but no one wants to do anything about it. I'm not just going to sit back and "accept " this, let them label him as being "slow" when it might be something like ADD or Dislexia....He's not a dumb kid! If we can find out what we're dealing with, we can fix the problem and bring him up to speed before he starts hating school and counting the days til he can drop out. Guess I'm going to have to write another letter... Thanks for listening guys [/QUOTE]
