No need to apologize. I just didn't think I meant to say what I thought
you were responding to.
I agree about labelling. Sometimes, I'd almost rather not know what someone
thinks a kid is, but to get to know him/her for him/herself... several
studies have shown that if you tell a teacher a child is likely to fail
(even if it's just a random label), the teacher begins to expect failing
behavior, and then the child responds in kind.
On the other hand, sometimes a tiny amount of chemical (properly
prescribed drugs), adjusts a body's imbalance and makes a whole lot
of problems go away.
