FWIW, I am completely on board with your post, with a couple of notes:

I think treating ADHD with spanking is like treating a broken arm by amputating the leg.

If a school’s resources are limited, and the school is not able to provide the care that Yanky needs, I think it is a disservice to Yanky (and his classmates) not to acknowledge this fact. The administration should tell Yanky’s parents – in the most compassionate way possible – that the school is not equipped to give him the care and education he needs and deserves, and they should help Yanky’s parents find the right place for him.

This is not about laziness, it’s about trying to make sure every student gets what he needs and deserves.
