experience, men only hear 1/3 of what I am saying...lol

I guess I am not real savvy on the rules yet...why would you be banned?

Is there a way that I can arrange the order of my photos without
deleting them and reloading them in the order I want?

As always, you're brilliant and inspiring...you take me there.

Nurjoyce, you did what any good mother would do...you stood by your
girl. She will heal with you by her side.

This so could happen in my classroom!!!

duh, took me a few but got this lol!

I tried this and it just takes me to a profile for someone whose user
name IS username. Any other way?

Welcome from California. You will love the people here. Let go and
enjoy....

ADHD is very commonly misdiagnosed so a second opinion is a must (agree
with Lady_A). My son was diagnosed when he was in the first grade when
it began to effect his academics. My choice after much debate and
research was ritalin. It has been being prescribed for over 40 yrs so
the long term effects are known.
Now as a teacher, I have seen kids all all the different kinds of meds
and there is no one size fits all. I would just keep researching and if
you do decide to go with meds...just remember that if one doesnt work
another might.
Also, the condition is caused by a lack of nuerons firing in the brain
(so the meds are stimulants). I have had some parents try mountain dew
(for the caffine) and that sometimes helps.
Just dont give up! It is a struggle at times, but once your boy grows
older and learns to focus all that energy...the sky will be the limit
for him.

I second massagetrade!!

you all seem very articulate and express yourselves very well. You
learned that somewhere and some of it had to be in school. I agree that
the education system is failing....but a large part of the failure is
the government shoving their standards down a schools throat. Every
teacher knows that a snapshot of a student will not tell you what that
student knows. They ARE now pushing just the basics...no more art, pe,
music...we are trying to make one size fit all...a failure of the very
fiber of our democracy. And you all CAN make a difference, vote if you
are able.
