to think that ADHD/ADD is a load of nonsense?

Are we really producing ever more kids with these conditions or do parents simply need to take back control and realise that, at times, all kids can be obnoxious, loud, defiant, restless and fidgety and that strictly enforced rules for behaviour, lots of TLC, and the occasional smack on the bum may be the way forward?

MrsCrafty, my kids' school doesn't recognise AHDD, either, but it knows all about ADHD.

You need to pull your skirt down, because your ignorance is showing.

genie - I expect she is too.

Not a troll just someone with a bit of common sense. Sadly, this is lacking today.

The dyslexia thing is true. They have this whole scheme dedicated to it. It's not illegal. DH was supposedly Dyslexic so we are not without knowledge on this.

But hey, if they get a child reading & writing up to their age, that's a bad thing - correct?

wasuup3000 · 22/08/2010 23:35

Yes Mrs Crafty are you on drugs?

MrsCrafty · 22/08/2010 23:37

Maryz, yes it is. Simply because I don't subscribe to lots of the absolute tripe which is around these days.

wasuuup3000 I understand your hostility. But has it ever occured to you that I am allowed to have a different opinion?

Or should I put up and shut up?

genieinabottle · 22/08/2010 23:39

Troll Alert - there is a poster with a name similar to mine posting abusive, foul mouthed messages. Please do not associate me with this ignorant cow.

Hi please don't get confused by this person stalking me. They are obviously a troll and quite mad.

Please ignore the above, she is obsessed with non existent trolls as well as non existent conditions.

So should i tell my ds's one to one teacher to take a hike and tear up his statement then jus to please you.

so you dont think anyone who has a statement should have one then???

MrsCrafty · 22/08/2010 23:51

Well you have to discuss these things or we would all be following the same line of thought which would be thoroughly boring. I still stand by my opinion which to most on here is absolutely wrong. But that's ok.

Yes I have used the words little fuckers and the words shit parents, sorry I have forgotten to add appalling parenting and terrible fuckwittage.

Again, my view. I am not calling any single person a name. It's not personal. It's a discussion.

wasuup3000 · 22/08/2010 23:52

Tiredmumno 1 I really wouldn't worry what the troll things as they are clearly insane

mumeeee · 22/08/2010 23:54

MrsCrafty
DD3 18 has Dyspraxia and we took ages getting her the help she needed. Yes I know that Dyspraxia is not Dyslexia or ADHD, But having a child with SEN you know that it's not just the parents fault. I am very glad she did not attend your school or any school who didn't recognise these c things. She would now be a very frustrated young Lady instead of one who is now confident and has just got a D in AS Drama.

Methinks MrsCrapfty is projecting too much.
