1. Ritalin Seems To Be Used To Control Classrooms
and not nearly as often just to help kids that truly have ADHD.

Some have ADD or ADHD. There are other treatment options: dietary modifications, EEG biofeedback, psychotherapy, food additives, etc.

When all else fails, then maybe Ritalin would be an acceptable alternative.

Of course, insurance rarely pays for other treatments than drug treatments, and schools often DEMAND that a kid is put on Ritalin or other psychostimulants (aka amphetamine like substances)after being diagnosed by a teacher (not to put down teachers) who has a license to practice medicine where?:sarcasm:
