Title:I pity the teachers in primary schools

I have two nieces in Israel who are teachers at primary schools with 42 kids in one class room out of which approx. 6 with ADHD. When school starts, the teachers can already tell if their mothers forgot to give them their medicines and they have to send them to the school nurse to get a dose. It is so sad for all the children, also the ones who are "normal", their lessons are chaotic at times and they cannot concentrate while their fellow pupils are playing hell in class.

Also it is sad that only the well-to-do-parents can support their children by means of special programs. Should the government not make this available to all children with disabilities? I sure think so.
