What to do if the school board says: "you have to put your ADD child on drugs."
*

--------------------------------------------------------------------
*

1.. Get them to put it in writing and sign it. (They are prescribing drugs without a license.) Do not be intimidated by the school board, and always remember that they work for you. Treat them as "your" employee and hold them accountable. They do not know what is best for your child, you do. You are the parent. Parents raise kids. School boards only run schools.
*

2.. If they tell you "The law says if your child is disruptive in class you have to put the child on Ritalin," ask them to show you the law in writing. The law will usually say that if your child is physically endangering other children, then you must seek medical help or special classes. Remind them that medical help doesn't always mean drugs.
*

3.. If they tell you to sign a release for your child's medical records because it's the law, again ask to see the law in writing. You are the parent, you raise kids, they are the school board, and they deal in education.
*

4.. Whenever you go before a review board or conference regarding your child, record the meeting on a tape recorder. Not hidden but in plain sight. Explain that you can't take notes and you want to remember every word they say. If they say the meeting is private and confidential and can't be recorded, ask them to put that in writing. Remember, confidentiality is your child's right, not the school board's. You never need to be in a closed-door session regarding your children.
*

5.. According to every book on the market, ADD/ADHD children usually have a higher I.Q. than most normal school children, so ask them why they have such a hard time teaching the smartest kids in school.
*

6.. Ask the board if they are aware that if your child takes Ritalin past the age of 12, according to the 1999 Military Recruitment Manual, that child may not join the Army, Air Force, Navy or Marines untill after a doctor has signed a paper stating that the person has been off Ritalin for four years. Because the child is a class 2 drug user.
*

7.. Ask the board if they were aware that if your child uses Ritalin, the State or Federal Government could not hire him or her if the job involves state secrets or national security, because your child is a class 2 drug user. (They can run for office, but they can't be hired.)
*

8.. Ask the board if they were aware that if your child uses Ritalin, some insurance companies will turn down that child, or even your entire family, for being a class 2 drug user. Others will raise your rates and write in a pre-existing condition clause, excluding some coverage for your child.
*

9.. Ask the board how much money they get if your child goes on Ritalin and has to attend the special education class for learning disabilities. If they say they don't know, tell them to go find out because someone turns in those forms every month. Check under the Individual Development Education Assistance Act of 1985. The government allotted over $2 billion for this program.
*

10.. Ask what percentage of kids in this school district are on Ritalin. (Anything over 5% is suspicious.)
*

11.. Ask if they know that according to the DEA, Ritalin is the number 2 drug illegally sold on the playground. (Kids grind it up and snort it, which according to doctors is worse than cocaine because Ritalin is made to be taken orally and will destroy the nasal passages.)
*

12.. Ask if they know why the side effects of Ritalin and Cocaine are almost identical. (It's because the two are almost identical in chemical compounds.)

...most of these parents are allowing this prescription just to get the drug to use for themselves, using the child as a go-between.

Everyone of those school shootings were ritalin related!

Wargames! You just took this out of the tragedy realm and turned it into a pathetic comedy or a TC. And how can we save the children from their own parents now? The worst part of what you say is this: it happens to be so true.

This is happening to our Sleeping America, slept for so many years already.

We would need to change our eating habits first, to be able to kick the wonderful drugs, secondly. What the hell happened to "home meals" and to "my hedache will go away in a while if I just wait"? They had a beautiful marriage.

...with this particular situation described in this thread, to date!

Drug Company:

"Sorry folk's we forgot to inform you that using this drug will kill brain cells that can't be replaced".

Meanwhile..., drink ice cold refreshing beer (insert icon here)
