-Caveat Lector-
I am probably one of the few people that
wonder if Breggin is some kind of front man -
even if it only to the extent that his electronic
communications may be monitored.
Because of the following story, and because when
my ex illegally put my my son on Ritalin for a week
about 2 years ago when (my son) was six -
(I did not continue it when my son returned)
I e-mailed Breggin for advice about the abuse
my son had received and the Ritalin. For a man
with such "high" credentials, he either only has academic
knowledge, works only when money is involved, or
some other esoteric reason.

So Breggin and a psychologist here in Waco called
Shinder (Shinder's office sees that court ordered sex offenders)
- just do not seem to have more academic knowledge of
what to do than they have constructive solutions.
Shinder is also the school psychologist. Interesting guy -
not. Baylor used to have a web site (about a year or so ago)
that was a advertisement for it's statistical -something or another-
the statistical -something or another- was started in 1984,
and the page gave the current rates.
the following page has three myths of education. One link was dead.
http://freeweb.digiweb.com/science_fiction/ThePiedPiper/myths.htm
It seems as if some people are not only afraid that parents might
learn how the kids are taught BUT in some cases that the teachers
might learn to make some new connections with in the teachers
own (brain) knowledge bank (triggered). If they (the teacher) were to
compare actual knowledge acquired by different parents. Weird what
can happen when things like a text book manufacturer "could"
see competition too.
This next link shows that the education of our current
lawyers is no longer complete. --

Any person can stand adversity,
The true test is to give a person power.
If you treat a relationship as if you are the only one in it, eventually you will
be.
Atrocities happen when the people about you - start considering you surplus.
