I honestly feel that parents are leaning toward saying something is wrong with their kid rather than kickin little Billy's butt when he's running around telling them to shut up and kiss his bottom.

I recommend that anyone who is working towards a degree/career in education, pyschology or social work to take this course: Psychopathology of Children (or similar title). I've taken this course about a year ago (got an A- in it too), and I have learned a lot from this course. When we touched upon children and Special Education, my professor (who is also a Clinical Psychologist with his own private practice) stated that there are many children who are placed in Special Ed who really should not be there. It has been a hot topic for discussion for the longest time and the children are the ultimate victims here.
