I wasn't having a go, Marky, I was just about to use you to make my point..

The DLA they get for one kid is £97.50 per week. Let's say half of that is the care component, leaving the other half (£48.58 ) as the mobility component.

How many docs and hospital appointments can one kid have in a week?

The problem with this is that many schools, as I'm sure you'll know, are working on a stretched budget as it is, so giving extra to ADHD kids would be determental to the 'normal' kids who want to sit down and learn. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's the way it is.

If some of these kids really are that bad, not only will they take away funds from the others, I'm sure they'll be dragging down the overall behaviour of the school. Perhaps it's time to consider some sort of special eduction, for the worst? (I'd extend this to others with behavioural problems of one sort or another, too. Having said that, if there was to be such a school around here, they'd leave a couple of the schools with half the amount of pupils they started with...)

The medication doesn't make them normal infact in some cases it stunts their growth, supreses their appitite and in some cases has been known to change the child so that they are nothing like their normal self more like zombies and harder to teach.
If someone could come up with some sort of wonder drug, I'm sure they would; but they haven't. What are you supposed to do?

Again, I refer to the latter part of what I just previously said.
