With "problems" like ADD, ADHD, weird behavior,quirks that aren't the "norm" and other individual traits a person may have. These traits are seen a problems that need a cure, so the students can conform to classroom rules and standards. This way they can all learn the same information that everyone else is learning. My Question is, are we holding back some people who may be great thinkers who would think outside the box and discovery new things or look at things differently to resolve problems that the "normal" people have not. By giving them drugs and counseling to try to turn them into everyone else? We may be preventing them from ever becoming the people they could have been. I.E. weird/not normal people like, Newton, Einstein,Henry Ford, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Orville Wright, Wilbur Wright, and Alexander Graham Bell. The list is huge, this is a small example.
