[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 511346"] I hear ya exhausted. When mine got on his antidepressants over the holidays, he was great for a few days. I'm thinking the criticism part is a big key to all of this. <getting on soapbox> All that, "Well everyone who participates gets a trophy" stuff is toxic. At difficult child's high school, every girl in the pageant gets a tiara. The winner? She gets a crown. <eyeroll> Teachers are more afraid to challenge students because the parents (maybe with an attorney) will show up. difficult child's 10th grade math teacher passed him when he shouldn't have. Oh yeah, he made difficult child come on makeup day and hang around for 'extra credit'. (I wanted to go to school and say "FAIL HIM FOR G-D'S SAKE!!!") And 11th and 12th grade math classes were impossible because he didn't know the foundation. Maybe that's why he is taking remedial math in college for the third time? I dunno....sometimes I think the system is also to blame. <getting off soapbox> [/QUOTE]
