About 10 years ago, I knew several couples, who each had 10-11 year old boys.

Every one of those boys were on Ritalin.

One of the guys I work with was told his kid had to medicated to stay in school. They chose to home school him. He finished high school early and is now in college. Without drugs.

I can't say that homeschooling is a panacea, but for my children and others, it overwhelmingly works amazingly and seems to be tailormade for children with attention problems.
