I believe it was a law put into effect by president Bush. " No child left behind" Not just a good idea, but A LAW. So, it should not be ignored , but it should be inforced. It is a high rate of prison inmates who are learning disabled or just fell through the cracks in our public schools. The under funded schools failed to provide trained and fully educated teachers and aides to teach our ADHD and LD children. Much of the general fund is fought for between, public schools, health care , and jails and prisons.
I believe it was Oregon's Governor Kitzhaber who said it all on June 12, 1996. He stated " School districts will cut hundreds of teachers, we will be hiring 1,000 new prison guards. So we won't be teaching your kids--but we'll be guarding them well."
I have written a book that is a must read for teachers, congressmen, counsolers, youth and parents. It is an eye opener!
