New guidelines released for the treatment of ADHD in children – Source: StarNewsOnline

Jack Erickson was a 7-year-old first grader in a super-small Montessori-style class when he was first diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.

The Psycho-Academic War Against Black Boys – Source: The Blacklist

The professional nomenclature has now become household words. Children as young as six can now speak of "Ritalin," and "ADHD" with stunning efficiency of what these words mean. Teachers and principals are telling single-parent mothers that their sons need "CYCLERT" and "ADDERALL."

Teenage boys are blaming their behavior on "I didn’t have my pill today." (Read more @ The Blacklist)

Note: I remember when I first heard about children being put on Ritalin I was mad as hell. Many children were on it because their parents receive a check once they are hooked on phonics, oh I mean drugs and everyone get comfortable. Poor parents sacrifices their child for the sake of a check. Mind you there are some who were not so to speak poor but did it anyway. What a damn shame. I wish someone would tell me that I need to put my child on some damn Ritalin. They will change that tune and say I am the one that needs it. LMBAO C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
