In fact, many people with ADD are exceptionally intelligent and creative. They need our support and understanding, not stereotyping and insults.Susanna Quailhttp://www.surreyteachers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-44840958063198139552009-04-28T14:40:00.000-07:002009-04-28T14:40:00.000-07:00How could we ever survive without Gordo running th...How could we ever survive without Gordo running the show?
