In our school district there are some classrooms where 1/3 to maybe even close to 1/2 the children were on medication (could be overstating here but many kids). They used to line up for their daily dose right in school.
I saw the "Ritalin" line at an elementary school once, here in Lansing. It reminded me of junkies lined up outside of a methadone clinic.
The schools are failing, period.
