No problem carnation.
I am still sort of considering this, but not as ferverently as before. I don't think I could handle the parents, really.
<begin rant>
I
was a hyperactive kid. If I were diagnosed today it would be ADD or ADHD or whatever. Except that I just learned to control it myself because there's no place in the classroom for that. And even at 5 years old I didn't want to act like that. Much less have my parents & teachers mad at me over it. Even at 26 years old, I have trouble sitting still and concentrating on one thing. But I always internalize it- I don't act like a monkey or anything. Sure, my leg might be bouncing up & down a mile a minute, or I might be doodling all over my meeting agenda. But I'm not distracting other people. And I figured this out at like age 4 all by myself. If parents would discipline their children, it might improve their behavior.
I have a cousin (by marriage) who is severely ADHD (or something, I don't know). He's a year younger than me.
He has a hard time controlling a lot of his behaviours. And he was allergic to a lot of the available medicines when we were kids. Unfortunately, he still gets in trouble occassionally. So I'm not saying that everyone can sit & be good all day - he really couldn't. BUT his parents recognized this & did everything they could to help him.
I think many parents today only have kids because that's what they're "supposed" to do & they really have no idea how to handle them.

Okay- I feel a lot better. But maybe teaching isn't such a great idea since I would have to talk to parents occassionally
