"You had been tired, bored, and sleepy to the point that you developed a (temporary) deficit of attention. You treated the deficit with a stimulant. That is what stimulants do for under-stimulated, inattentive people. That is how ritalin works."

Maybe you're just bored at school because it's boring? I have absolutely no interest in learning *anything* which does not interest me. I literally just switch off and take my mind somewhere else, inside my head...

Richard, children need to be taught that obedience is only good if those who are trying to bring about obedience have your best interests at heart, respect, care and love for you.

Any other form of 'obedience training' should be questioned by everyone on the planet....but it won't be, because SO many are now SO 'obedient' to their Corporate Obedience Masters who've had this one sussed for many a long year...

Children should also be trained in Rebellion so that they understand where and when to use it, because hell, are they going to need THAT in years to come!
