It's the families who have had intervention by the Division of Social Services who are the victims of this. Otherwise, we can thank our MD's and parents who are uneducated about the real causes of kids' problems for being responsible and too trusting of their MD in ruining their kid's lives with drugs. MD's put a heck of a lot of pressure on parents to give drugs to their kids. The real or physiological or psychological cause of the problem is not investigated. If a child has something like ADHD, which is a CREATED dis-ease, and never existed a while back, drugs are crammed down their throats. The teachers don't have anything to do with this except maybe report a problem child to the parents OR to the school system. Doris Rapp, MD. has a book out there about why kids have what's called ADHD and we certainly know that parasites and poisons are behind why the child is having problems. Lots of other reasons, as CR8 has mentioned. Another reason is that a child may just be too bright and the parents and teachers do not want to be bothered with giving that child the attention he or she needs to develop their talent. So give them drugs and dumb them down. Don't allow them to be too active (or bright). The baseline to all this is don't do anything that gets DSS involved in your life. They really can take over. This goes away from the subject a little bit, but there is too much government ready and waiting to tell you how to live your life, so get protective of yourself and your kids, is my opinion.
