you obviously have not had a young child in the public school system recently with an impatient tenured teacher.It happens every day this ads crap. my oldest daughter is a school teacher in Wyoming so I know. My youngest daughter works at a juvenile jail and deals with it to, let's just say I'm surrounded by it. we are a country on drugs. maybe that's our problem, big pharmacy has all the answers with gov backing and financing

That is simply not factual. A school can't force a child to take medication without the parent's consent particularly Ritalin, Adderal and other ADD medication. The only time the government can intercede on behalf of the parent and force treatment is if the child's life is at stake such as if she was suffering from acute bacterial meningitis and her parents tried to refuse antibiotics, the state can then interfere and treat the child. However, the same does not hold true for these types of medication. Nice try though!

When schools start teaching common sense like this, I'll enroll my kid. In the meantime, It's home schooling to learn the truthiness.




Instead they teach them blasphemy like this

because they are educated and secure in life. No need to defend themselves . that is for watching the others do. and they can be funny at times so silly looking for someone else to blame cause they cant afford a mirror

I have 2 children in public elementary school, I am at the school nearly every day. I have never seen what you are describing. Our school will try many different tacks if children have learning disabilities or attention issues. I know very few kids that are medicated, and those few tend to have other issues in addition to their learning impairments. Parents should be the only people who will ultimately make decisions regarding medications for children. Perhaps it depends on the school, but my school genuinely wants what is best for the child, not just a more co-operative zombie.

So if they were secure with themselves, why would they not admit they were home-schooled if they responded on this thread? Why would they care what others think?

That is irrespective of the type of school. NO SCHOOL can force children to take attention deficit medication. It's simply not legal. Parfleche is just making that up. It's completely fabricated. The parent's consent is required. Furthermore, if a minor is determined to be competent by a physician and refuses to take those meds even if the parent consents, the minor can refuse.

think what you will, we went pretty far down the road before I pulled her out. I was newly divorced with costody my ex is a progressive RN letting it happen and even sued me for 50% costody which I won. all that had a bad effect on daughter and she became a real problem even violent which mushrumed into the school and police being involved. I dont know why I need to explain this to anyone. we are now like 2 peas in a pod with no drugs good grief

Sounds like the issue you have should be with your ex and not the school.
