School answering machine

Anyway, enough ranting. It is regrettable that the particular Austrailian school district felt it necessary to post such a message, if indeed it is a real message, and it is even more regrettable that there are so many others who do need help that aren't getting it.

And now to close, another telephone message, this one a spoof, the Mental Health Hotline:

See my post earlier in the thread for the snopes link. It is, most definitely, not a real message.

Even though my son does have a recognized condition, he knows very well he cannot use it as an excuse, and must still do his best in a behavioral context. It is something to be worked through and coping mechanisms put in place. So we have him in Scouts, and we require no less discipline and personal behavior standards where possible.

Another staggering coincidence. We have our son in Cub Scouts, too. He's a Webelos I this year. He does seem to do better in the meetings and ceremonies there and has benefited from the experiences.
