John: I'd take this off-line but I actually don't have your email address. So at the risk of crossing the moderator: When he was six my son couldn't sit still. He was eventually diagnosed with ADHD by a reputable professional. Whereupon we immediately fired her ass. He was emotionally about three years behind and intellectually about three years ahead. Couldn't sit still for 6 minutes. Unless he was really absorbed in something. Then - no time limit. He was eventually diagnosed with ADHD by a reputable professional. Whereupon we immediately fired her ass. Now he's 11 and...normal. Does his homework. Sits at his desk in class. Practices the piano. He was actually the poster child for this: http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071209/HEALTH/31 2090003 That ADHD net is being cast wide and far. Watch out for this. All boys are "hyper". Some more than others. Visit his class. Watch the girls sit obediently and color. Watch the boys move restlessly around the room. They're a trial. But of course, there's nothing much else really worth doing in life (IMO). Ask Donna Cook.

Susan, in fact everyone does not know the rules. I just discovered the rules a few years ago and I am darned old. Of course I didn't much care back then and don't particularly care now. I have more important things to worry about. We have been working with my six year old son Robbie to "get no marks" at school. He's a hyper little guy and drives his teachers crazy. So we started doing a "no marks for a week and you will get a prize". The teacher was out for a couple of days and the substitute teacher gave him no marks. When the teacher came back, home comes a mark. We are talking to him about the mark and he says "I just can't do it with my teacher. I gotta get her out of there.". Now THAT worries me!!! ;-) John W.

Arthur, I think everyone knows the rules. However, sometimes our fingers and brains aren't in synch. It happens to me all the time. I suppose it's up to you whether something like this bothers you, but seems like a waste of good energy to me. ;) Susan H. > Speaking of rants, it irritates the hail out of me when people > incorrectly use "it's" when they intended "its".
