Comment on Thank You Teachers! by Janine Bastian

In my 25 years of teaching I, like all teachers, have seen the increased stress students live with and try desperately to manage. This fact has created an even more impossible job for teachers–teach the curriculum to students who are overwhelmed. The stress of the teacher then, naturally has increased. With less and less support and respect from parents and administrators teachers feel overwhelmed which perpetuates the students’ stress. When teachers are happy, supported, and respected they can be more effective in dealing with students who are forced to grow up in very stressful environments for a variety of reasons.

Comment on 9-year-old Suicide by melissa

I am so tired and heartbroken for my child. I have fought with teachers her whole life to help them to understand her and how they can best reach her—so she can show them all she knows—she is so smart. As a high school special educator, I always wondered why some parents came to IEP meetings ready to fight, their proverbial guns drawn for battle. Well, now I understand… it is because they are so tired of fighting for their misunderstood child. My daughter is probably one of those misdiagnosed with ADHD and if we’re not careful could easily become ODD… because she is so stressed, heck, I’m becoming a little ODD myself–if that’s possible! It’s just so frustrating to get educated people to look at these kids and see that sometimes they just need a break! We just can’t catch a break! In preparing for the Ohio Achievement Test, her Language Arts teacher sent home a 28 page packet of work to do over Spring Break! Some vacation… Like I said, we can’t catch a break!

I wish we could have pulled this off this past year but we can certainly do so next year! I am so sorry to hear about this little boy that is dealing with this abuse by his peers. We need to protect our children and it starts with adults getting serious about this problem and understanding that it is ABUSE! I hope this child can heal and grow to be a well adjusted adult. Surviving this stuff makes one stronger but still the affects linger for a lifetime. Its important to see this as a clinical issue and treat it as such.

Thanks for all you do, Reggie!

Take Care,
Elizabeth

Comment on Article: Not ADHD, Not Bipolar, Not Learning Disabilities – Trauma by letRVoiceBHeard

This is so true! And it’s why we have to get involved more when it comes to our health or our childrens health. Basically be the leader of management. Unfortunately not many individuals know what to ask the doctors. Or when going to doctors forget things. It’s always best to write them down this way you don’t forget to ask. Getting involved so your not being misdiagnosed.
