That is absolutely not fair that he has this label, especially if they can see what a great kid he is. Have you tried speaking to the teacher outside of the conference or along with the social worker to try to form a plan of action to help curb the classroom disruptions? Maybe you need to educate them about ADD and some effective ways to handle the fidgeting. I have a neighbor who went through a VERY similar experience with both of her sons and she eventually found a teacher who was willing to work with her and her sons and who wasn't judgemental. Those teacher are out there! I hope you find a teacher soon who can just accept him as he is. Sorry you have such a hard time with these teachers.
