The article ''Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School'', by Alan Schwarz, is about doctors giving A.D.H.D pills to low income students in low income schools to help them become more focused in school. While some people believe that giving the pills to the students is wrong because the pills are addictive and students may could get sick or have an overdose.Dr. Anderson, a pediatrician for many unwealthy families, believe that they can give the student something that could help them more academically than changing their school and home environment for without being to expensive.He says, ''We've dicided asa a society that it's too expensive to change the kid's environment. So we have to change the kid.'' Dr. William Graf, a pediatrician and child neurologist who serves many poor parents, believe that giving the children the pills could affect their development. He says, '' These children are still in the developmental phase, and we still don't know how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.''
I think this article is informing because people need to know before it gets out of hand and wind up hurting or poisoning chilgren.This article changed my perspective of the title because I thought that the title was about teachers druging students in class in secret so they wouldn't tell their parents.But instead it was about doctors giving pills to low income students in low income schools to help boost their focus in class.I believe there is a solution to the problem, maybe some people should help the people in need of help by having fun raisers and bake sales so that families who afford tutors can get one.
If I ever had a problem where I needed more help in school and a doctor came to my home and gave me a pill to help me academically, I would take it because it would give me more of a chance to pay attention in class.But, I wouldn't take it because I could get sick or have an overdose.Like in the article Dr. William Graf said that takink these pill could bioligically affect their developing brain and I agree.
This article help me think deeply about the topic because now I know what people have been doing in the world and try to help prevent it because people are dying and getting sick everyday and we should help prevent it.We could help the world be a better place.
I wonder if there's anyone already trying to help, is anyone informing people about this?Is there a person in the world who cares enough to help? Questions I am curious enough to answer.
