Perhaps parents are to blame in some of these instances, perhaps not. My memory is still pretty vivid a decade+ later of my stepson's struggles in public school. They dx'd him ADD & anytime his behavior wasn't exactly to the school's liking, the cry arose to raise his med dose! Poor boy cd hardly keep his eyes open, much less function. We got him in a private self-paced Christian academy for high school. He thrived & graduated 2 yrs ahead of his public school class, w/out meds.
Things have escalated since. A neighbor somehow wound up in federal court for refusing to put his active young son on ADD meds. They threatened to take the boy away or force the parents to drug him. Parents won, but the boy is being home schooled.
