I wonder what portion of the 51% is for ADD & ADHD meds. It seems many children are medicated for these W/O cause. A child who wiggles in class is classified as needing meds.
Children used to play outside, walk to school or to a friends house now things are different. Too bad some children get ADHD meds because they are bored in the slow moving education given in most classrooms.
