When my older brother was in 2nd grade the school tried to put him on Ritalin. My mother's response was to pull us out of school, and then proceeded to homeschool me and my 5 brothers for the next 20 years. (Some of them weren't born yet.) Every day more and more I appreciate my parents and what they've done for me.
Given the type of person my mother was, and knowing now more about her "issues" I'm unfortunately glad I wasn't home-schooled because the little amount of time I had to spend around her was already enough to do some long lasting damage.
