Ha ! Teacher told my parents in a parent-teacher's meeting that I might have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) which would require pharmaceuticals. Later that evening Dad called it "daydreaming in class" and cured it with a single application of his old Marine Corps belt. A medical miracle !!

My granddaughter is a 16 year old Battalion Commander in Navy JROTC and has been invited to visit both West Point and Annapolis this summer. She's in charge of 1/3 of her school's cadets (commanding 90 students). Her parents and I decided when she was in the 8th grade to snatch her out of public schools; they are a joke now.
