Back in my day Attention Deficit and Hyper activity were cured with a strong belt across the kids butt. It may not have medically cured it but he hid it until he grew up and moved away from mom and dad. Now they have built an industry of providing speed to kids and employing an army of charlatons to diagnose and treat them.
The state taking over control of family discipline thru the enactment of obscene child abuse laws that punish almost any form of spanking, have caused family discipline to waive in favor of councilong and drug pushing. (It employs a lot more folks that way)
Agree or not, I hate the fact that some idiot school functionary and her co horts, by misdiagnosing, have made a drug dependent and slowed down kid of one of my grandsons.
Agree or not, That's the way I feel and I'd jail the lot of them if I were king for a day.
