Need for meds judge for environment. Was: homeschool/public school

Some are incredibly beneficial to my own family, actually.  I'm just speaking of

Ian.  Once we took the " problem " away, he still had his other " issues " , but

being medicated for hyperactivity and anger wasn't needed once he was home.

You know, this is a good issue to bring up. My son is in public school, but he

doesn't need meds. This despite the fact that he has been diagnosed as

" emotionally fragile " and professionals are always concerned about his level of

anxiety. But, his current school is good about not pushing him too hard and not

treating his disabilities as behaviors. Not that there aren't other problems,

as everyone knows from my other posts. But that is one thing. And it is in

this environment that we have been able to progress in getting his needs met. I

guess the trick would be how to tell ahead of actual enrollment what kind of

school yours is.
