It would be a joke if it wasn't so tragic. <br /><br />I think parents are often told thier kids are "gifted" to quite them and keep them happy. Few will look a gift horse in the mouth.

After all the work and advocacy I've done over the years, it does not seem to be getting any better or saner, only worse.<br /><br />I'm relieved my daughter is out of K-12.

If you only knew how many of these young people come home from college after the first year, depressed, burned out and disillusioned. It's not something parents advertise. But you hear things all the time. And think of the health risks as these children age. Chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure. And I'm just getting started.HomeworkBluesnoreply@blogger.com
