I would love to learn more about this in order to start a class action case against schools and school boards that allow this. This medicating of children only demonstrates the ignorance of teachers. The result would be hopefully constructive and better schools and fewer teachers playing doctor.

Just an FYI. Teachers cannot diagnose ADHD. They can describe symptoms, they can suggest that a parent discuss the situation with a family physician, the school system can offer to pay for a doctor, but only a doctor can make this diagnosis and then prescribe a medication. In fact, ritialin and adderal cannot even be called into a pharmacy by anyone. An adult must present the written prescription in person.
