Whats really amazing I had my kids young in life, all my kids are over the age of 22, my best friend, over 50 choose to start his family later in life he has 2 under 10 years of age, both his kids were great kids, their teacher calls him and says the 8 year old sons mind wanders during class and needs to be put on ritlin, his daughters teacher called and said the exact same thing..He has 2 kids now on Ritalin, and before I moved south spent time with them, and they are fucking ZOMBIES, because of the Ritalin..Its a shame..If I got a call from a teacher saying they didnt pay attention..I say "A chip off the old block" Maybe DC can shed some light on this since hes a teacher..Is that the easy way out for teachers DC? Tell the parents your kid needs to see a Dr because their attention span is not there in class? Dc, this is not a shot at the teaching profession, it is a question..
