Strange how I and all my contemporaries went through K-12 without ever encountering anyone with "ADD." Whenever a kid misbehaved, he was scolded by the teacher. If he continued to misbehave, he went to the principal's office and then when he got home his dad would "take him aside." No "ADD." No regiment of hand-wringing, bed-wetting "grief counselors" to comfort the poor ADD victim while threatening the school board with law suits. No legion of psychiatrists prescribing oceans of anti-psychotics to kids who just needed a good spanking. How did we ever do it?
Absolutely correct. Ritalin has taken the place of paddles and vigorous exercise.
Lucky, for all of that, I guess. I have no complaints.
I think common sense is passe too.
