When my son was in second grade (1987) in public school, my wife came home in tears one day because the school had told her that Matthew had ADD and needed to be medicated for it. Long story short, we took him out and enrolled him in Catholic school.
He is a Marine Corps sniper team leader and a policeman at a local municipality, having graduated number one in his class at the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Academy. (and all without Ritalin). Imagine that.
