A pdf file I found...

Because I do not wish to copy and format the whole pdf file, click here to read it (if you want to) :)

It is a conversation between two students, one with AD/HD and another who wants some ritalin drugs off him to help him concentrate with his philosphy test. Ben argues that he should be able to take the drugs since Carl does, and so he can pass the exam. Carl argues that there are possible side effects associated with drugs, and that he only uses it to help overcome his defficiency.

At the end of the pdf, there are a few questions. One of them 'Was it wrong to give Ben Ritalin? Should it be available to all students?'

I think it was wrong to give Ben ritalin. He seemed to value only his grades and passing, when he should appreciate the subject and the learning oppurtunity by doing his best - the natural way - without help.

I found the document an interesting point of view and scenario to read and think about. Schooling and doing well in academics is important to everyone who goes to school, society seems to only look at the people who do well. This brings a question to my mind. Are the people who do well artificially more honorable than the people who don't do as well, but try their best naturally?
