PBR88, this can’t be said enough. So I will add to it. And...Yes, I am shouting.

More yelling:
PARENTS REMOVE YOUR KIDS FROM GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS IMMEDIATELY!
Or maybe just go ahead and charge them with a future crime, like "Protesting While Carrying the American Flag".
It was eliminated on purpose to close the original achievement gap between boys and girls. But they were too successful and now girl FAR outperform boys at every level including the colleges in which girls far outnumber boys now.
Especially boys.
Put one in a classroom and he’s climbing the walls.
Teach him how to fish and if he likes it, he’ll sit on the bank, dock or in a boat all day and not do a darn thing.
Putting your children on narcotics is a bad idea
Amen!
I actually decided at age 12 that recess should be incorporated into Junior High and High School.
That was not a self-centered wish: I was a very good student, and had less difficulty with the lecture setting than most. But I observed how deleterious it was for many to have to sit passively and just listen.
Activity is natural for children - and adults. A forced sedentary routine is counter-productive.
Yes, I didn’t really push the meds. He tried them and didn’t like how they made him feel. He was a skinny kid who got skinnier—lost his appetite. And his mouth got dry and his hands were purple while running and his vision got weird (he was a distance runner in high school—track and cross country).
And I didn’t want to feel like Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest so I didn’t press the issue.
I know the meds do help many with ADHD though.
“This began to escalate back in the 1990s. As I recall, schools got extra funding for each diagnosis.”
A doctor who did some consulting work for my company back in the 90s told me he could not diagnose ADHD. He said teachers were the ones who diagnosed it.
We had it when I was in school. We had baseball games already set up. Scarf down lunch and then everyone to the field. Each team knew to go to the field or bat. Play for a half hour or so and then go to class sweaty and worn out.
They said my son sat and stared out the window. So they juiced him.
Thank you for sharing..
My son went to three different preschools, all said maybe on spectrum & to get him evaluated.
We did get him evaluated but through insurance, not school system & they said nothing wrong with him, just a hyper-fidgety boy.
He’s now in Kindergarten & beginning was rough but his teacher clearly saw the problem..he’s super smart & gets easily bored so she started giving him more responsibilities like line leader, class assistant etc.. is he still a spaz? Yes, but wouldn’t have him any other way. It’s who he is & thankful his teacher worked with him instead of just referring him to get evaluated.
Another Reason to Homeschool
Could they be sued for ‘practicing medicine without a license’ ???
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Very enlightening. Brought back a few memories. I remember a bit kindergarten, we learned some French, the alphabet, counting by 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10. With stars on the chart when you successfully completed a particular counting group. I found 3’s a bit of a challenge.
I think we were done by noon with a nap on our own little throw rug. And mommy came by around 1 to take me home and hear all about my day. Ah... the 50s.
Best wishes to you, your son, and family.
Every child is different. Maybe some need and benefit from medication. But I personally would rather err on the side on no meds.
Getting children outside - seeing and exercising seems to help very much. A watchful eye on diet also seems to help. To this day, my son avoids caffeine at all costs.
But don’t worry. My son was a spaz too when he was growing up. But he has grown into a great young man. He still does ‘spazzy’ things. But that just makes him be his own unique personality.
There are also some books, probably now only in the used book section, from a Dr Harvey Karp, with titles starting with “How to Raise the Happiest Kid on the Block” or something. They were fantastic for us while raising my son. Great advice for working with kids like ours.
Again, best wishes.
Appalling - yet not surprising.
Follow the Money. Follow the power.
Follow the control.
Good to know.
An excellent article.
You are correct. Happened to our boy.
I wish I could re-discover the source, but I read several years ago that given the same set of data, educators were 22 times more likely to recommend a student be medicated than a clinical professional was. And educators were 7 times more likely to recommend medication for boys than for girls.
