People don't realize that Ritalin prescribed = enhanced funding for reclassing the child as special ed. It's a racket.

Figures. Personally, I think that stuff should be outlawed. Mind altering drug just doesn't cover it. That stuff turns you into someone else than you were.

If school actually exercised students' cognitive process rather than stifle it with PC claptrap, groupthink and external authority rule there wouldn't be but a tiny fraction of attention distractions. The conscious cognitive process has the individual as the highest authority. In short, it is free will, choice. With that comes risk and reward. 

Parasitical elites in academia, politics and mainstream media have manipulated persons to acknowledge external authority as higher than their own individual authority. They have severely skewed the risk/reward nature of the conscious individual to serve the parasitical elites. Doing that at the cost of individual life, liberty, happiness and prosperity of the individual.

The irony is, in the end, the parasitical elites are the biggest losers. They may have unearned prestige/glory and fortune, but they have no integrity. Whereas the value creator/producer has earned his and her power and rewards via their integrity.
