Marty, I think you know I'm not gay but I LOVE YOU!!!!
Oh I know.
Back when dirt was new and I was a new born from the time I was 6 months on I never took a nap, was awake 18 hours a day. Pediatrician back then told Mom he could prescribe something to make me sleep more, Mom refused. I was labeled "hyper" in grade school, Mom refused to let em medicate me and told the teacher if he's misbehaving it's your fault as you lost his interest and he's bored.
I had a few classes I liked and aced them with A's while rarely paying attention, the rest I pulled solid C's in. Once I got bored forget it. Took all my higher math course's, most likely would have had the same grades with remedial math course, actually most likely would have flunked remedial math course as I would have been bored five minutes into the first day. Absolutely loved the biology/science courses I took as well as Literature. Barely passed English as diagramming a sentence is asinine as what use does it have? Actually did better in Spanish than English, at least Spanish was new to me. Took the hard courses, passed em, could have graduated half thru my Junior year with enough credits. Think I had four hours of shop my senior year, a study hall and the two required courses, English and Government/Econ. Liked the Gov/Econ course much more than fourth year English as the Gov/Econ was taught by Eugene the Marine. Not to horribly bad for a kid that needed "medicating" at six months old.
Back to the point, as long as money can be made and blame can be placed on a disease/condition instead of bad parenting, Americans and their children will continue to be for the most part over medicated. My Father in law atm is on 15 different medications. Was more until his new private doc took him off several the quacks at the VA prescribed.
It's a rare occasion that I even take an aspirin.
