[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 524685, member: 11791"] Keista - good question! Partly depends on who is asking... is there any way for a [I]teacher[/I] to know if the problem is "parenting"? Not reliably. If there were enough money to spend running the right tests on every child, and to investigate the "homelife"... it should in theory be possible to determine which cases are a "parenting" problem. But even then. How many parenting problems are caused by the same issues being in the parent? and the parent not receiving help for their problems? UGH. To me, it's safer to assume that we are dealing with one of three cases: 1) a known and accurate list of dxes (don't ask me HOW we know that the list is complete, though...) 2) partial list of dxes and issues, not quite adding up 3) no clue on dxes or issues, but we know there's a problem And for all of the above... it's always safe to [I]assume [/I]that there is more to the picture, and that the case is "complex". (rather than [I]assuming[/I] a parenting issue) [/QUOTE]
