Yes, I do believe one of the Colombine monsters was rejected from the military for that reason. Despite some of the high falutin talk by the 'experts', there are precious few children that really need drugs to correct their behaviour. Something else is occurring now, the teacher's sweeten the pot when telling a parent their child needs Ritalin by also alerting them to the fact that the family then qualifies for social security benefits.

Never happened in my case. A teacher was never involved. As a very observant parent I realized something was 'just not right', and he was diagnosed by doctors. No social security benefits that I know of. And if we were eligible for them, I wouldn't be interested in them at all.
