Read up on it. Some kids DO need Ritalin. But the vast majority of boys who are put on it are just...boys. Part of the problem is too much TV and what it does to attention spans (I'm cutting off my cable). The other major part of the problem is women teachers who can't deal with boys being boys

It's up to the parents to do their homework before they accept that. We went through a couple of months of evaluation and reading before we said "okay let's try it."

Bingo and bingo.
In the cases I've cited, I cannot recall one single male teacher being involved.
