Many ADHD pupils excluded - poll

More than one third of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been excluded from school, a survey of parents suggests.

The poll of 526 families found 39% had had a child excluded from class, and in 11% of cases this was permanent.

Almost two thirds said their child's ability to achieve at school was "very affected" by their condition, which makes concentration difficult.

And, furthermore, oooooh, nice curtains, did I remember to close the windows at home? Hmmm

Rest of story here...
