“This is not a threatening program.”

Yeah, SOS, good name for yet another program to screen our kids and label them.  Somehow the above statement doesn't make me feel any better about having "experts" use their subjective, science-less questionairres to determine whether my kids are doing okay mentally.  I mean, the mental health industry doesn't exactly have the best batting average.  What's more, most of the shrinks I have ever known have been crazier (and not just "haha" crazy--but in a deeply disturbing way) than their patients.
