What I heard at work.

[Guest guest]

First of all I am a sub-teacher. I was at work today,

and talking about ADHD. I said that I would never put

my children on medication for this. A teacher told me

I was wrong, said it was " ...Just evening out the

playing field " . I asked her if she heard about the

heart problems associated with these drugs. Her reply

floored me. She said " ..if the drugs caused heart

problems they would have a cure for it by the time

these kids are old enough for it to effect them " . I

walked out of the lunch room. I needed to get out of

there before I said something that could cost me my

job. This is they type of teacher who would recommend

drugging children in her care. She later came to my

room and said she did think ADHD was " overly

diagnosed " . Poor me, I thought teachers were

intelegent.
