Great topic, Magik.

I know I'll get flamed for this...

[img]graemlins/twocents.gif[/img] IMHO, I believe that it is the doctor's fault. ADD is a real disorder, but there are some experts who believe that it is misdiagnosed in 99% of cases. Parents have gotten sold into believing doctor's diagnosis as gospel, and doctors they take the children to have become lazy. It so easy to call "ADD" and hand over a bottle of Ritalin.
Mis-diagnosis and overly-prescribing medications are killing our children.

In the US, our children's education rank abysmally LOW in comparison to the rest of the world. It's because parents have turned over responsibility to teachers and doctors, and they, in turn, pass the buck to each other. -RANT OFF-
