HOW you monsters (esp. the so-called 'teachers' among y'all) can support an institution that coerces (y'all just LOVE making people do things they'd rather not, don't you?) parents into giving their children HARMFUL drugs is BEYOND me! Oh well, at least the Big Drug Corps are making money off of 'em! ( XXXed by TS1).!

I am NOT for drugging children but if you were in my class I would make an exception.

What is the food and drug administration allowing to be put in foods to make kids act the way they do? Anyone who cares about their child KNOWS this can be controlled through diet. Parents have to care enough to feed their kids the right foods so they can sit still an LEARN.

Many of us have food alergies. Some foods make us sluggish and some make us run amuck. Kids are the same way.

Did somebody say DRUGS.

Teachers don't talk parents into giving their children drugs...for any reason.

Within the school environment, there are many types of tests administered which help all who are involved with the education of a child plan the best educational program for him or her. It's rather like a doctor administering diagnostic tests to determine what's wrong with a patient.

Diagnostic behavioral tests are always adminstered by a physician after the teacher, the school counselor, and the parent fill out extensive questionaires about what behavior the child has demonstrated within the home and the school. After the questionaires are scored, the parent is then given the results, perhaps with a recommendation for him or her to take the results to his or her family doctor for further consultation/evaluation.

If the family's doctor thinks the child would benefit from taking a medicine that would help him or her concentrate and remain calm for a period of time so leaning can take place, the doctor is the one who recommends it to the parents...not the teacher. Perhaps the teacher will be required to give the medicine to the child once he or she has a prescription, but even then there is extensive paper work to be done, and the teacher has to give the meds with a reliable witness present, and keep a log indicating the meds given, how much, when, and who was witness.
