Kevin my understanding is that the Ritalin drug (correct spelling) is very dangerous. It is like a mental straight jacket. I have heard that all of the high school killers were on Ritalin or some other similar drug. I am not including the recent San Diego advents but I am waiting to hear if they also were.

"The diagnostic criteria are so general that any young boy that I grew up with could have had attention-deficit disorder," said Kevin Decie, a Teaneck, N.J., lawyer who in September helped file the New Jersey lawsuit. Noted anti-tobacco attorneys John P. Coale of Washington and Richard Scruggs of Mississippi also are involved in the Ritalin suits."

Kevin read that and then think about what you said about vouchers. The people who have been in charge of the school system have presided over an ever failing system. Indeed I believe that the overriding purpose of the public school system is to socialize and indoctrinate children into becoming Democratic voters.
If this were a sports team that had been producing terrible results and the management said we are not going to change our system but we want to give the coach a raise what do you think the fans would say ? What would they say to the management stating "We feel that if we give the coach a raise the team will do better" ?

IF we were to throw out every single person involved in the administration of failed academic methodologies and the same people who are eager to drug our children than I could possibly agree with you on this point.
