So the big story on the bus today is that Jade, who teaches grade 4, has been giving the wrong kid Ritalin since school started in August. Apparently Pedro Juan was supposed to get it, but she’d been giving it to Juan Pedro instead. I guess Pedro Juan started doing really well in class and his parents were happy that the meds (that he wasn’t receiving) were doing such a good job of controlling his behaviour. Meanwhile Juan Pedro has turned into a raving nutcase and has taken to eating crayons and stabbing the little girls in his class with scissors. Maybe I can get my hands on some Ritalin. It would certainly make the days more interesting.
