I think most of my grandkids are on Ritalin or some damn thing. I blame computers and computer games, and parents, of course. But mostly I blame the damn doctors who prescribe the ****. Of course, smacking a kid on the butt is not the 'liberal progressive' thing to do. Probably not politically correct either. I know of no one in my generation, or the following one, who was classified ADD or ADHD. Although, I have heard of 'adult onset' ADD. I think that's another narcissistic ploy for attention. The thing that bothers me the most about this is that most of the people who shaped our history probably would have been called ADD in school and drugged. In the years that I taught, I never experienced the school putting pressure on the parents to drug their kids. Unless the counsellors were getting the parents on the sly, I don't know when it would be taking place. I think it's the teacher complaining to the parents about behavior/homework, and then the parents asking a doctor what they should do about it, instead of putting in the effort to fix the problem themselves. I've witnessed just the opposite. The school systems and even individual teachers are diagnosing kids and recommending to the parents that they be put on medication. Went through this with my daughter and her oldest kid. One of his teachers talked to her about it and even admitted that she herself (the teacher) was on medication for adult ADD. My daughter took him to his doctor and the doctor got bull ****. The kid (my grandson) was a perfectly normal, typical young adolescent going through the process of growing up. That f'in 24 year old teacher should be fired. That was about 5 years ago. He has since graduated from high school, is attending a trade school, working and is doing just fine. If I were a parent and a teacher said something like that to me, I'd have her ass in front of the school administration for stepping way out of bounds. There is no way I'd ever have recommended anything like that to a parent. And, if I had, my principal would have had my ass for breakfast. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
