I forgot what order people presented in so im just gonna talk about them sporadically. I know that ADHD and ADD are supposedly over diagnosed because its most doctors approach to just medicate someone when the parents claim theres a problem and demand a solution. I would like to see if there are any studies out there showing the long term effects ADHD and ADD medication have on young children. Such as future drug use and depression as well as dependency.
I agree that the genocide in Darfur has been forgotten by the media for the past 2 years but why haven't the UN or some other global organization tried to actually intervene? As horrible as this may sound, its not the US's responsibility to stop it. Besides no matter what we do we will be criticized for our decision. If we take no action then history will look back and say that the current world power let crimes against humanity take place while in a position to stop it. However if do step in it will only worsen current US sentiment in other countries. People will claim that we are trying to be the hero and point out everything that goes wrong as we try to stop the genocide.
Finally I know very little about Holistic education. But I would agree that traditional education is not right for everyone. Some people just respond better to a different learning environment and I do believe that while grades and performance matter, that they should be introduced later in school so as to try and relieve pressure from kids who don't perform well in classroom because everyone is different.
