Wow, ADD/Hyperactivity is special needs now? Imagine that in the 70/80s? -- HokieinTampa 05/17/2017 08:47AM
ADD/ADHD can qualify a student for an IEP -- hokieinashburn 05/17/2017 1:25PM
Yeah, it was supposed to be taken TIC. Certainly wasn't meant to offend. ** -- HokieinTampa 05/17/2017 2:22PM
I would love to see some statistics on how that correlates to electronics -- Vienna_Hokie 05/17/2017 1:45PM
I would bet it's also the additives and pesticides used on our food. ** -- GFallsFan 05/17/2017 1:55PM
Based on all our ADDH posts, TSL should give us a special board. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 05/17/2017 09:38AM

I agree with all of that. Not sure why they mention those disorders -- reestuart 05/17/2017 09:18AM

No argument. I'm speaking solely from my experiences with some bad parents. -- HokieinTampa 05/17/2017 2:19PM
Oy. I feel bad for those kids. ** -- reestuart 05/17/2017 2:22PM
Yeah, there are a ton of parents who just don't want to deal -- reestuart 05/17/2017 09:39AM
There's lots of pressure from all the projessionals involved to medicate -- hokeyhokie 05/17/2017 09:36AM
No, there isn't. The child psychologists won't recommend medicating, -- reestuart 05/17/2017 09:42AM
I know for a fact that you are wrong. Mine is not conjecture ** -- hokeyhokie 05/17/2017 09:45AM
I know for a fact that I am right, unless the child psych or pediatrician -- reestuart 05/17/2017 09:52AM
That makes me so sad. This child has potentially been ruined for years. -- GFallsFan 05/17/2017 08:00AM
You would end up in jail. State child welfare agencies are police states ** -- hokeyhokie 05/17/2017 08:22AM

Plenty of methods of restraint that don't involve cuffs or choking him out. ** -- reestuart 05/17/2017 08:42AM

BTW, the handcuffs are the least of the problem in this situation. -- herndon teach 05/17/2017 07:39AM
The only way to restrain a 7 year old is through the use of handcuffs? ** -- herndon teach 05/17/2017 07:31AM
Seems crazy, but yes. ** -- CPRVHokie 05/17/2017 07:48AM
