Thank you all...for your care, concern and anger! LOL! It's much better now. So I talked to a behavioral psychologist today who specializes in ADD and ADHD kids, and I'm setting up an appointment to go talk to him later this week. He believes in medicine as a last alternative and trying other methods first. So this sounds more like what hubby and I are looking for. Talking to him made me feel more in control and less like a wandering child. That's a good thing.
As far as the teacher goes... who knows? I'm not sure about that at all. I mean obviously she feels that meds are the answer, so I don't think I would get any good counsel from her what so ever, which is all that I was hoping for in the first place. I may still try to discuss the entire situation with the principal and perhaps the guidance couselor, but now - I'm more leaning towards working with this new Dr. first and seeing what he has to say about Alex. We have the summer to work with Alex and see where exactly he is at. Then next year we start school with a clean slate, so to speak...
Anyway, just wanted to check back and let you know that the day ended better! Thanks for stopping by!
