Mud-butt shouldn't smell like pancakes....

Okay, now that I have to saying to yourself... ew. This post is all about questions that make you wonder "What the....?"

The other day I was doing some light cleaning, aka looking for my keys, when I discovered a journal entry that my girlfriend wrote that stated some of her thoughts on ADD or ADHD. Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyper-activity Disorder, is a 'supposed' disease that affects millions of Americans. However, I have a major issue with this 'diagnosis.' In my elementary school, in the 4th grade, a select number of students, myself, included were assigned to a special class where students were allowed to learn at their pace. What this study showed later was that children learn better when they are almost tired, not quite sleeping, but tired. Less than 3 years later a drug was introduced to child psychologists and shortly to teachers. Within a year a teaching revolution began, any student between first and 6th grade that just cannot seem to 'concentrate' on the task at hand, automatically had ADD or ADHD. Teachers began utilizing this drug as a teaching aid, parents began using it like a crutch to poor parenting skills. Now we have a generation of kids 18-25 that are taught that drugs are good, and ADD, ADHD is an excuse to remain acting like a child.

I, in my own opinion, think that before a teacher suggests pharmcuticals for any child, the teacher should have an evaluation based on several criteria on competency. Any parent that follows the recommendation of a teacher should have an evaluation that tests several criteria on good parenting skills.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Parents of all kinds, your children are amazingly, get this.... CHILDREN, children behave in a manner befitting children they run, they play, they scream, they kick, and bite.

Consider this, did you learn right from wrong, or did you get a few swats from your parents along the way. Stole some candy from the store and got caught, got spanked or grounded and never did it again? You have to teach your children the difference from right and wrong and be willing to disipline the child appropriately. Blaming ADD or ADHD on the reason why your kid escaped from you at wal-mart and decided to run down the beer aisle knocking $25 whiskey bottles on the floor is a piss-poor excuse for your lack of giving a two shits about your life or that of your childs.

Adults with ADHD, there is a good excuse for taking medication when all you need is a good emotional enema... GO ON VACATION! Can't concentrate on your work, guess what 90% of us cant stand our job and need a break. GO ON VACATION.

Now get off your lazy, welfare paycheck, wal-mart shopping, booze hounding, asses and teach your kids right from wrong, instead of teaching them that they can grow up just like you and blame ADHD instead of you for their problems.
