Did you know....the drug companies pay schools for every child that is on a

Sounds a bit like a conspiracy. I think parents that have opted to medicate there kids for whatever reasons, should investigate alternative methods to deal with whatever the health issues are. In some cases it just may not be possible, but I believe in many there are alternative solutions...SS

I didn't know this, but I could believe this is true because something has to pay for the studies, and that is why they the Dr's like to prescribe meds so much instead of trying to find the problems.

I wonder if this information is really true that you heard or if someone just made it up who was angry at the way schools are run. The schools do get a lot of money for things that are kind of strange sometimes though. I can almost see this being true what you said about schools getting money for kids who are on medicine. Its probably not to push schools in trying to get kids on meds but probably more to give the schools extra money to get those kids into counseling and things like that. Perhaps the teachers should get paid slightly more if they have kids in their class with learning disabilities or things like that.
