By working with the child’s teacher, parents can help improve the environment that leads to problematic behavior or even develop positive rewards for positive behaviors. Both help preserve recess, which is a necessary outlet for a child with ADHD. If recess must be used them limited allowed activities as opposed to the entire recess is preferred.

End of No Child Left Behind – Hello ESSA

By Fernette Eide

The Every Student Shall Succeeds Act has been passed and signed into law by the president. This law replaces the No Child Left Behind act and does two things. The first thing that it does is gives more power to the states in determining graduation and testing requirements for students.
