That's unacceptable. I am so sorry that his teacher felt it was okay to say that to him. He's already dealing with enough without her negative comments. You should definitely speak with the principal and tell them if this teacher is not equipped to work with your child, they need to find someone who is.

I hope for nothing but best for you and your son.

Sometimes the teacher doesn't know how to work with children with ADHD. They feel the child is making up reasons not to do the work. They do not understand that some kids with ADHD works best moving around, taking short breaks here and there to help them regain focus and work of some of that energy. What I did was speak with the school psychologist and she came up with a Behavior plan for my son and his teacher. I meet with them once a month sometimes once a week to see what's working and what's not working.

F.Y.I taking recess away from him will only make things worse. Get in touch with your child's therapist (if he's seeing one) have them write a letter to the school telling them what he needs
