28. My son had ADHD the school never told me. I worked at a doctor's office and realized

he was having some of the same things going on with him. It doesn't help I paid for his elevation then have it sent to the school and they turned around and tested him again. But I don't care if your kid is good or has problems the school isn't helpful when you really need them to step up to the plate. You get to think there is something wrong with you and your kid. I tell you when I went to the high school here where my son goes I found it to be shocking. These kids that really need help aren't getting it. The special teachers are frustrated also. I remember helping the teacher give TPAC tests. These kids were taking tests on stuff they hadn't even learned. How can this be? My son go a raw deal and many kids like him did. The principal doesn't care. They are to busy walking around the halls telling kids to pull their pants up or if they have a chain with a wallet on the end to tuck it in their pants. They have their special people they like. You can see it who it is who they seem to help. I hope you can help your daughter. Maybe you can take her to school and pick her up. That alone is a big help.
