[QUOTE="Malika, post: 636280, member: 11227"] Don't worry, Terry, I'm bad too... I have already told J that I am angry with this teacher, and angry at myself for allowing it to happen to him. The whole thing was such a balls-up, the way it was handled, and I AM angry. Being sensible about it, I think the best thing we can do is go to the UK and for J to go to a primary school there. It is all very different from France. There are systems in place whereby a child with difficulties MUST be identified and helped, unlike in France where it is so often down to the parents to do all the battling. However... I seriously am terrified of the same thing happening again, of J's impulsive, undisciplined behaviour meaning he is ultimately asked to leave... this can also happen with ADHD kids in the UK even though kids are not supposed to be "discriminated against" because of their difficulties. We have now tried four ADHD medications: Quasym (marketed as Metadate in the States), Strattera, Concerta and Ritalin. They all lead to J having horrific, psychotic-type meltdowns when they wear off. This makes me wonder seriously if the base problem isn't rather that his birth mother drank during the pregnancy leading to ADHD-like symptoms. I have read that the medications often don't work for these kind of children. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
