This is nothing new - just apparently unearthed. In 1972 my kids were going to public grade schools in Overland Park, Kansas. We came home and found my daughter had thrown her father’s Alka Seltzer away. When asked she said because it was an “upper” and her teacher had told her they should throw away all the “upper’s” and “downer’s” they found in their parent’s medicine cabinet. The one thing you always made sure of in our house was that we always had an ample supply of Alka Seltzer. I can guarantee you that it didn’t happen again at home. Nor was that part of the lesson plan at school any more after her father spoke at the one and only PTA meeting he attended and shared his thoughts and the one and only District Board meeting he attended where he also spoke on the issue.
Very funny.
Today - would that include Mommy’s anti-depressants, an older sibling’s ADHD medication and Dad’s sleep prescription?
