ADD “Award” Out Of Bounds

We haven’t jointed the sensitive brigade but this lady has a point. “A Plainfield mom is furious after she said her son, who is diagnosed with ADHD, was given a so-called “award” by his teacher for getting distracted often,” NBC Connecticut reported. “NBC Connecticut spoke exclusively to Tera Cooper, who said she’s confused why that teacher at Plainfield Central School would think it’s funny to give something like this to her 13-year-old son, Derek.”

“The certificate is titled ‘#ADDAward’ and reads ‘Most likely to be distracted by…look something shiny!’ It has a zombie being held up by a balloon and a little gold ribbon that says ‘good work.'”

“‘He had tears in his eyes. He’s embarrassed because he had to accept it in front of his entire class,’ Cooper said.”
