This reinforces ADD behaviors. I'm just sayin'.

Is it a behavior or chemical imbalance? ...I'm just askin'

I honestly think it depends on the kid. I could show you a kid that was diagnosed ADD that there was no question to me was exhibiting learned behavior rather than a neurological difference.

Yes--I have seen both as well.

That's sad that they "discourage" him from reading. I'd say time to put him in homeschool! Smile

no no they don't discourage reading - however you have to finish your othe school work like writting drills BEFOR you do reading.

Actually the teachers spend more time with him working on socal skills than academics. He got Mrs WTR's smarts. He soaks stuff in like a spong and sticks too. They tried to give him an 8th grade science book (they thought it would be more fun) but he got frustrated that he didn't have the math skills to do some of the stuff in it.

so he really likes science?.....is he like a little professor?....what kind of social skills?.....is he shy?
