Such a small, insignificant study...sounds like the pharmaceutical company drummed this one up. I drugged my daughter once with Ritalin. For two weeks she was physically nauseated, then started to gain weight at an alarming rate when we removed her from the drug at her request. She was 8 years old.

And you know...the teachers are the ones who insisted I do this as a favor to them since she was disrupting class by fidgeting. Turns out, it's just at this age where a dyslexic starts suffering academic pressure too. Can you imagine being forced to attend a class all day, every day where you are missing out on 3/4 of what's going on because...well...you are a kid, you don't know why everyone is getting what's going on in regards to 'text' and the written word and you are not getting it. Things start going terribly awry at this point.

I liken it to going camping with nothing but a buck knife when no one explained to you how to use it or how to feed yourself. They just drop you into a forest in the middle of the night and won't be back to pick you up again...ever...and you are 8 years old. That's what dyslexia is like to some in school at that age. I watched this happen to many of them.

Wouldn't you want to get the heck out of there if it were you????
