You are right, when levels are off.   I was assuming the educator was looking for what sort of issues she might deal with as far as educating.  Not on the end of making sure the levels are right.   Yes, parents can tell when a childs meds are off a lot of the time, but an educator with 30+ children might not be able to.  If you have  a teacher that can tell you when your child’s meds are off, I want to move there.  It has taken me a couple of years to understand CAH totally and that is only because I deal with my one child 24/7 and a lot of the symptoms of over/undersuppression are subtle.  Unless teachers are that good, a CAH’r is going to have to deal with what they have at school.  I can be empathetic because I  have issues I deal with myself  but I also believe that we can over-coddle. 

You are right, all kids are different....just as all women experience PMS differently but the last time I heard a lady who used PMS as a defense in her criminal case was still put away.  Kids need to communicate and as parents we do the best we can to research and get them the help they need.  But I would certainly not recommend teaching a child that their CAH gives them an excuse to behave poorly.
