New school, new rules, new classes, new ways of doing things.
Old school = 2 recesses every day, gym 4 days a week.
New school = recess once a week and gym once a week.
This is why kids are so antsy!
Who likes to pay attention for that much time in a row?
Not me!!
I don't think I could.
This schedule is definitely gonna require a higher dosage.

Sheesh. I would not be happy if this were the case at our school.
you have got to be shitten me???
Hey (I found you via Greta)I am also a teacher at a new school this year (St Paul, MN). Wondering what I have gotten myself into!!!
My name is Nikki Hughes and i would like to show you my personal experience with Ritalin.
I am 51 years old. Have been on Ritalin for 9 years now. I began taking it for depression after my marriage ended, and also in a misguided attempt to lose weight! I lost about 15 pounds at the beginning, had tons of energy, felt great...but the weight loss stopped within a few months.. I currently feel focused and motivated after I take it and am able to get a lot done. As well as the generic ritalin, I take 6 - 12 Tylenol 1 tablets a day. I know how bad this is, but can't seem to stop for more than a few days. The last nine years seem to be a blur...it's like I have lost those years....I hardly remember anything about them. I find this sad and frightening. I take what my doctor prescribed: three 10mg. tablets a day. I have tried many times to completely get off this drug but I now realize that I am truly addicted to it. If I stop taking it for more than one day I become extremely depressed and have very negative, hopeless thoughts and ideas.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
very irritable when it wears off; sometimes difficult to fall asleep, memory loss, hear music in my head that won't stop.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
