The teachers in Calif can recommend Ritalin and I think the school gets
more
money for an ADD student. Follow the money.


That's California. Nothing would surprise me. Actually, I'm surprised that
the teachers out there can't just write the prescriptions for Ritalin!

Are teachers still allowed to yell really loud at kids? I had a Latin
teacher who was a former USMC sergeant. He seemed able to retain eye contact
with 20 kids all at once. It was a very bad idea to break eye contact and
look at anything outside the window. He would "address" offenders in a voice
that rattled the dropped ceiling tiles. :-) If ADHD or its cousins existed
in 1968, it was apparently afraid to be seen in public.


Yelling is allowed, but I've found that going SSSSSHHHHHH, loudly, works
better than anything for getting a class quiet.
