I asked the supervisor what their disciplinary procedure was as far as escalating the situation. What were infractions that would result in a phone call to the parents? What were some infractions that the parents would be called about immediately and asked to pick up the child? Did they have any information they could give me that would give some examples? No, they had nothing of the kind. (Granted, they probably wouldn't have listed sticking another kid's hand in the toilet even if they did have written examples, but still...)

I had to wonder - had they never dealt with kids with ADHD before? Obviously they must have. I don't expect Lawrence to get special privileges because he has ADHD, but the supervisor seemed to be totally lacking in understanding, and had no interest in rectifying that situation.

On top of the disciplinary process, or lack thereof, I had found that the kids didn't go outside every sunny day, and not at all, of course, if it was raining. If there's one thing a kid with ADHD needs, it's to run around outside and blow off some steam.

There was no question in my mind. Lawrence needed a new afterschool program. Time to start looking.
