Educating our kids: Why drugs isn't the answer

     Unsurprisingly, the massive over medication of our children is being shown to provide no benefits in the classroom.  The author of this article is right to point out that while frightening in itself, the drugging of children to improve performance is not really the problem. 
     "The problem is partially a cultural one, but it is also exacerbated by government attempts to meddle in education. No Child Left Behind, Head Start and Common Core Standards have all tried to impose top-down regulations on the way children are taught, as well as forcing them into failing public schools based on geography rather than the individual needs of students and parents."
     Not only is it about control, which is true, but it is about something more important.  It starts with the breakdown in our morals as a symptom of the loss of our religion.  The family, entrusted by God to provide the most basic level of government to the children thus loses its moral foundation to lead and then throws off its responsibility over the children.  One the family denies its proper place in the rearing of children, then others will start to fill that gap, the schools, the civil government, the doctors, etc.  So while it is true that control is part of the issue, this is the case only because the family has first failed to perform its God given duty....and that is the true tragedy.
