Hello Mr. Molly Maguire, I got to the part about Ritalin and had to drop you a line. Diseasing of America’s Children by John Rosemond will give you the scoop on the Ritalin farce. Boys are boys, as you say, and the classroom is no place for young boys. And Ritalin is a death sentence for all that’s great about them. Give boys about seven years of free play, hone one’s parenting skills, and the normal boy behavior that the teacher (usually) complained about should take care of itself.
