I agree that it is wrong.

But the protection of other students is not a bad thing in principle. It is a thing that is often missing. Yes the school should help problem kids. And absolutely, the school should make sure other kids don't get victimized in the process.

Drugging young children into quiet compliance and uniformity cannot be the answer.

This ADHD epidemic is localized in the US, so either people there are being overdiagnosed for the sake of sinplicity, so they can just be drugged; or there is something horribly wrong, causing all those children to suddenly develop ADHD.

My money is on the former explanation.
