CRACKS! How Children Get There!

First let's define the 'cracks'. The cracks are cleverly laid traps intended to catch the unsuspecting child and parent. With just minimal co-operation the child, once normal in every respect, suddenly becomes "abnormal" according to a certain set of criteria. Ask yourself, Who set the criteria? Nutcases for the most part who wouldn't recognize a normal child if they saw one. "Experts" they are called by school personnel, but experts according to whose standards? Yet parent after parent after parent falls at their feet when the words "abnormal behavior" are dropped. Never mind that the "diagnosis" was made by a brainwashed teacher or principal that was only doing what her workshop training commanded her to do. But we still haven't gotten to the GOOD part - WHY the kids STAY in the CRACKS! Stay tuned.
