Probably a public school. Im against public Schools run by Federal Beauracracys for this very reason. We need to privatize the schools in America. And use Gambling taxes to pay for tuition of poor children. We would get a higher quality of Education for all children and I guarantee if quality of education goes up. We would not have assinine diagnosis's of ADHD every time a child has trouble focusing or acts out in class.

We should use the money from gambling to pay for schools, and maybe the excise taxes from liquor, cigarrettes or fatty foods. But we should nationalize the education system and subsidize even more.

Good for you go right

Here is the entire problem. Kids need discipline people. It doesn't hurt them.
My oldest son is a teacher and he wrote his college thesis entitled.

" My Mom's Discipline Abuse Or Genius"

Reading the thing I was a little taken back, the kid never got near the spankings he seems to remember. And me taking the car keys , withholding allowances, tv , and phone privileges was made to sound like I was KGB instead of a mom who cared. But in the end he concluded that he was better off for the structure and clear rules that he understood and could live by.

Kids need rules and structure. All this AdHD could be handled with some old fashioned discipline.

My son was a rowdy one let me tell ya. I never encountered a teacher that didn't "suspect" him of having ADHD. They’d always ask if I'd like to have him tested and I'd always decline. I'd tighten down the buckles on him and request that they stay in constant contact with me regarding his behavior no matter how small the incident & we always got through it. He's 16 and fine now.

I don't think its a conspiracy. I think its a symptom of a society that has gotten soft , selfish and lazy. First of all - It takes a lot more work to make a kid mind then it does to let it run wild as it pleases. So lazy people do not take care of their kids and when they hit school the teachers want to medicate the little brats so they will zone out and they can maybe teach a little to the kids that will sit still without medication.

Second- People get it in their head that little Johnny and susie are perfect and nobody can tell them the kid is wrong. I'd like to see us bring spanking back to school.

Third- People have kids like they get pets now days. They are cute when they are little but when they grow older and are a problem try to avoid walking in the dog crap and hope they leave home ASAP.
