Gosh, and Thanks everyone! Isn't it sad that back in the day, people didn't recognize serious pain in students? But 20 years ago, I applied for a substitute teaching position in a medium sized school district. One of the test sections was to somehow comment on an essay by a high school student. It was obvious to me that the student was extremely depressed. But the "right answer" was that s/he was irresponsible and lazy. I got a B on the test - some dumb committee of teachers who knew nothing about people OR English, had obviously written the test, because I'm an A+ English student my entire life. So ignorance is probably still going on -- but I guess all of us here know that.
