Mike,
This is a sore subject with me. I wish someone would write a book
telling the parents of these ADD Scouts not to teach their boys to use
ADD as a crutch for anything that they don't want to do. It should also
be noted that because your child has ADD is no reason for not
disciplining him when he is purposefully out of order.
Don't get me wrong, I do understand that ADD is a real problem.
