tracy, can you tell us more about what ADHD really is. i mean, i know what it stands for but i also imagine it's overdiagnosed and overmedicated when maybe it's just bad parenting.

parents not ready to be parents maybe?

Here in Japan a lot of parents leave the 'parenting' to the teachers. They simply don't know how to look after, educate or discipline their own children. I have so many children who behave atrociously when they are with their parents & yet are as gold-as-gold when they're in my class because I'm strict but fair with them.
They know what they can & can't do in my class & they respect that.
To quote Furious Styles: "Any fool with a dick can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his children" I think the same can be said for women (except the bit about the dick...)
