In Chile, the state buys every year an average of 400 million of pesos of methylphenidate, a derivate of amphetamine, with similar effects as cocaine, utilized in the treatment of ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), a psychiatric label that is utilized in schools all over the world, to pathologize perfectly normal child behaviors that don’t fit in the educational system.

I want to state my indignation, with the national education and...
