I have difficulty with this as in the UK we put the month and day the opposite way round to in the US – so 9/1 could be the ninth of January or the first of September depending on which country you’re in. My husband does business with many different countries around the world and to avoid this problem they have a convention in his office that dates are always written like this: 1-SEP-2009 or 9-JAN-2009. Keeps it simple with no room for confusion so long as the form gives you room to write it like this! (Some have little boxes which means of course you don’t have three spaces for the month.)

Well-written forms usually remond you which way round you are supposed to write it (MM-DD-YY or DD-MM-YYYY for example)

It’s been longer than 2 weeks and the piles of paper I have are getting larger . . . I DO have a good system for organizing them though – WHEN I get around to it

You sound just like me! I’ve added your blog to my RSS feed

Dealing with ADD as a teacher can be hard, but at least you’ll have a much better idea of what your ADD/ADHD students are going through!
