Stop promoting drugs for "control" of these children. It will result in life time dependancy and a "mark" on their record forever and "unknown" permanent damage.
The day my nephew said "I'm only good when I take my pills", she took him off and told his teachers to go to hell.
He's a nice young man who went through the confusion of his teen world and will do A okay in the future.

Agree...Why is it so hard for anyone to figure out the fact that Ritalin and drug use started just about the time that PC dictated we not discipline our children? School systems let the kids run rampant over them and when they can't control them, they just drug them.
I'm not saying it's right, but when I was in Catholic schools we feared being hit with a ruler etc...we knew who was boss and we didn't have the problems schools have today.
Courage? Is that what you call it? Did you read this sentence:
"...The school district began pressuring Weathers to medicate Michael in 1997, when he was a first-grader, and continued to do so for two years, she charges.
There's more to this chemical lobotomization story than meets the eye, I think. And the claim that she was "pressured" to lobotomize her son for TWO YEARS is a typical weak-kneed, post modern "feminist" twister.
"They made me do it."
No child is safe. And male children are especially at risk.
