I find it interesting to what lengths parents go to improve their children's grades. The fact that grades indeed go up after taking those pills just make this worse: people believe to see "measurable" success.

“We’ve decided as a society that it’s too expensive to modify the kid’s environment. So we have to modify the kid." - To me that is the gist of the article. We failed to provide an enjoyable learning experience for kids, so we have to make them enjoy it.

Or we just switch off the bits inside them that yearn for enjoyment in the first place. Our kids are either academic robots or suffering from a disorder of being human, and thus imperfect.
