Attention disorder or not, pills to help you in school. By Alan Schwarz is really explaining that, the parents and doctors that's support A.D.H.D is given pills to children that need's them or not. They give them these pills to kids in elementary and high school. Doctors and parents think it helps their child education level increase and it would be easier and more better for them to do work in class , or home and participate in class decisions.
The author included a lot of quotes from doctors and parents also students. Dr. Anderson have given these pills to her kids and she said '' My kids don't want to take it, but I told them, 'These are your grades when your taking it, this is when you don't', and they understood'', It's not really that surprising that a parent want better grade from their child but i think that's all she care for and not worrying for there safety.
I think there is seriously something wrong with these doctors and parents. I believe that you should check the drug first and make sure it is safe your your kid to take. The side effects of the pills young kids are taken is, growth suppression, increase blood pressure and, in rare case, psychotic episodes. I took this quote from the text and it state the harmful side effects of these pills, doctor and parent are taken.
This story kind of reminds me of a movie I watched. I forget what it is called.The movie is about four gentlemen have a bad disease called scalelyois and the government was treating these boys with a drug that the men didn't know about.They just wanted to get cured, but the government knew exactly what they was doing and didn't tell nobody but the doctors the side effect of the drug. Soon the boys died of scalelyois.I think these two story are similar in some ways. I want everyone to know the side effects of the drug their taken or might be always ask your doctor.
Excellent post. 100
