The Power of Ignorance

I generally spell pretty alright. But I’ve found that with spelling in blogs, my best search engine draws happen when I mispell. Take this article. It was my first real draw. It was brief and lame, but they flocked to it. And now this one, that I wrote July 1st has been my top googlor ever since then by a long shot. Unfortunately, I find that sad on many levels. How many kids are there thinking they need ritalin because their friends are on it and they’re sucking down sugar water and sugar cereal and, like me, can’t even spell it.

    This is totally crazy stuff. We (my husband, daughter and myself) are currently residing in a ritzy area in the central valley. I am a psychologist intern and the abuse of ADD meds is out of control. Would you believe that rich parents give their “normal” children stimulants to enhance their academic achievement?! It is an epidemic here and you’ll even hear parents talk about their children being on “enhancers” and how it’s “doing wonders”. YIKES!

    TIME had a decent article on kids and prescription drugs…some of the stuff people are giving their kids is scary.
