As for those two cases, there may be more to the story. I've worked in a school for a long time now, and if a parent takes their kids off of a drug, there isn't anything we can do about it. Who knows what the situation was in the above cases. I can't pass judgement on it unless I know the entire story, which you don't either.

I will admit I don't know the whole story. But the guy who reported what I wrote is an assistant editor for the Las Vegas Review Journal, his whole livelihood depends on his accuracy, so I'd have a tendency to believe what he writes. And while your school may not take action when a child is taken off a medication...that's not to say that another school won't do something.

I am not saying that the reporter is writing false information, but sometimes there are things left out and maybe not even on purpose. There might be a history that the reporter is not even aware of or maybe not. Always remember that there are two sides to every story and somewhere in between lies the truth.
