So you contend that children are not being medicated at high rates to effect better behavior from them? Is that what you mean my a straw man?

I never contended that. Your question is actually an accusation that I said it. It's type of lying.

Is that what you mean my a straw man?

A straw-man argument is one where you dodge the topic and instead inject an off topic, easily refuted argument, which you attempt to say the other person made, and then knock it down. You build a straw-man and knock it down.

Argumentation 101.
