The article "Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School" by Alan Schwarz is about doctors prescribing A.D.H.D pills to help children without A.D.H.D. who are failing in schools. The pills have been known to help them focus in school and are able to get more or done. Dr. Anderson states that the infirmity is "made up" and is "an excuse" for low grades which is what he says is the real problem for children. The medication have been known to have been used in low-income elementary schools given to student with failing grades and the students’ parents are happy to give their kids the pills. "My kids don't want to take it, but I told them, these are your grades when you're taking it, this is when you don't, and they understand."  Ms. Williams said. According to the Centers of Control and Prevention "Americans ages 4 to 17 were judged to have A.D.H.D. in 2007, or about 5.4 million children." Quintn is one of many children diagnosis with A.D.H.D., he was given Adderall  to take for his diagnostic and when he was asked why he was given Adderall he says "to help me focus on my school work, My homework, listening to mom and dad, and not doing what I used to do to my teachers, to make them mad." In my opinion I think that children diagnose with A.D.H.D. take these pills and when parents see how good the children are acting they keep them on the pill even after the symptoms are gone. I have a family member that was diagnosis with A.D.H.D. and he took no pills and out grew his symptoms and is now living a normal life. I think the parents should let their kids grow out A.D.H.D. and not run to the doctors for pills.
