Disorder or Not!!!!!

    In the article "Attention Disorder or Not ,Pills to help School" By Alan Schwarz Dr. Micheal Anderson hears about his low-income patients struggling in elementary school ,he usually gives them a taste of some powerful medicine called: Adderall. Since parents are starting to get low-income Dr. Micheal Anderson tries to get the medicine Adderall in schools that way students who have ADHD are able to take Adderall."I don't have a whole lot of choice," said Dr.Anderson, a pediatrician for many poor families in Cherokee Country, North Atlanta. This medicine Adderall helps ADHD childeren or teens boost focus and impulse control in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. 

  What if people in school who didn't need Adderall were taking it just to boost their focus? Students in school need this pill because if parent were having a low-income and their child or children needed Adderall then doctors will try to have the medicine put in schools. Only problem is students can lie and say that they need Adderall just to boost their focus and try to pass a class that they are failing. For example a story from a family a child named Quintn says he was given Adderall "To help me focus on my school work, my homework, listeining to my Mom and Dad,doing what I used to do to my teachers to make them mad," he said. He described his week in the hosipital and the effects: "If I don't take my medicine I'd be having attitudes. I'd be disrespecting my parents . I wouldn't be like this."

Adderall could have side affects. What if this isn't the right choice for having this medicine in school? What if parents don't approve?
