So much easier than “teaching”.

School counselors and bad teachers would rather medicate boys than become better teachers.

I really get upset at the ignorance of some people. My oldest was add ( diagnosed by a psychiatrist, not a schoolteacher ) and the ritalin really made a difference in his schoolwork and concentration. He choose to stop taking it when he was 15. His grades dropped dramatically, but he worked very hard to get the grades he got. He is now rather successful in his field.

My problem is when the untrained (schools) get involved in diagnosis. I had a teacher try to pin add on my youngest. I told her she was full of crap, as I had a real add patient at home. She insisted and tried to put him in a different class. It took a full year, and a written diagnosis of non add from the psychiatrist to get the school to back off...
