[quote=Anonymous]Full disclosure -- I have no kids, so I have zero knowledge of what it's like to have a child who isn't doing well in school and to want to fix that problem. But as an outside observer (pretty much all my friends have their kids on some kind of med), I wonder if the aggregate result hasn't been to reset the bar about what constitutes "appropriate behavior" and "achievement"? All of you expect your kids not only to perform, but to excel -- if Johnny isn't in the 98th percentile, then something's wrong and we must fix it. If Janie doesn't test at least 3 years above her grade, she'll never get into Harvard. And the schools now seem to feel that any child who doesn't behave like a doped up zombie is a distraction in the classroom. I'm just not sure you can know what long-term use of amphetamines will have on these kids.[/quote]
