Agreed.
Personally I've hardly taken any medication in my life. I'm strongly against children being given meds, except in special cases of course.
Them bastards just want your money. Them fools just want a quick fix solution. |
Just reminds me of the late 1800s/early 1900s where people would go around selling cure-alls. Just take this and you will feel great! Except that in the end the person is either addicted or has very adverse side effects.
So basically the parents are just looking for a quick fix without really dwelling into any of the consequences. Too bad most people haven't learned that almost all "quick fixes" never work.

Strongly agree with this and the general case which you mention after that.

Don't be so quick to blame the parents. The schools are quick to send problem children home, "he's disrupting the class. Get him to a doctor. We can't deal with him if he's not taking his medication" And the doctors are quick to prescribe medication. There's not really an alternative for 2 hard working parents, barely able to keep their heads above water. Expensive therapy and private schools are not an option.
Classes are too big for the teachers to spend extra time with the problem children. When I was young classes of 16-18 were normal, nowadays upto 30 is considered fine.
