By the decision by those racists members of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission that s with ADHD taking Ritalin are close to mental Retardation!!!This decision was made behind close doors and the public don't know what was said. This is the problem that I have taking Ritalin. Go ahead? Go read my Human Rights Complaint on the front blog?Blogger Charles LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904161889628998531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-1116945864782324062005-05-24T11:44:00.000-03:002005-05-24T11:44:00.000-03:00Charles,I think you realize Ritalin is extremely b...Charles,<BR/><BR/>I think you realize Ritalin is extremely beneficial for some kids in some circumstances. You think it's over-prescribed, but you don't think it should be banned. I think.<BR/><BR/>What do you think of people, like the one who wrote the comment before mine, that take a more extreme view? Personally, my own experience is that Ritalin has been a life-saver. I'm prepared to believe it's not for everyone, and some (many?) kids are getting it who ought to do without. But still, I know it's good, really good, for at least some kids. It pisses me off when people call it "dope" or "kiddie cocaine" and say it should be banned. I don't see why these people can't say "I don't want it for me, or my kid, but if it works for someone else, well good for them." How do you feel when people go to such extremes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-1116939639508435752005-05-24T10:00:00.000-03:002005-05-24T10:00:00.000-03:00The government has figured out how to legalize dop...The government has figured out how to legalize dope,Just put it under a different name.(Ritalin)<BR/>The doctors make a tidy prophet off of the prescriptions and the teachers go on doing their job without hyper kids within the wall of the education system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-1116933912073008792005-05-24T08:25:00.000-03:002005-05-24T08:25:00.000-03:00lol...hey?

This is a very serious issue and the outfit who's going the study is from Halifax. So therefore I don't believe they would take me seriously if I sent them my view on this very emotional issue with a French accent. I wrote the rough copy and my good friend helped me out! It's called teamwork at its best. Now if there's so issue that I miss? Please let me know?Blogger Charles LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904161889628998531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-1116933602862326892005-05-24T08:20:00.000-03:002005-05-24T08:20:00.000-03:00Very good letter and presentation and you do not h...Very good letter and presentation and you do not have to read it with French accent.

Along with the parents being educated on how to best support there child through the learning process of life.<BR/> <BR/>Now you may think I am full of shit on this, but my daughter is ADHD, who was medicated with Ritalin. She also has a Conduct Disorder which she was medicated for. From my experience, medication, school, parents, support group and councelling go hand in hand with helping our children develope into productive adults. Now four years later, she is going on her own steam. No medication! Now if you ask me, would I do it differently with no medication? The answer would be "no". The medication is needed to give the child some stability. Some focus. But if the other area's are not covered (support system) then the medication is ineffective. If you ask me what you should be going for with your letter, it would be to demand that all educators be taught how to teach children with disorders.<BR/><BR/> Believe it or not, you could put alot of the disorders in one classification with one set teaching method and be successful. In a large classroom with "REGULAR" students if one method was used, everyone would learn. Our children with disorders, need high visual stimulation and exact directions. Consistant and predictable insturctions. This of course would require that ALL teachers be re-educated themselves. <BR/><BR/>I strongly believe that all classrooms should be equipped with qualified teacher assistants. This to ensure that any child who is falling behind or requires extra prompting can get it quietly without being called out by the teacher. This would also divert some behavioural outburst.<BR/><BR/>So Charles this is my two cents, this from a mother of an ADHD/ODD child with a success story with Ritalin.<BR/><BR/>p.s. don't pay attention to my spelling or grammar..it sucks and I know it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
