Teachers do not have any license to practice medicine or prescribe drugs
and need to be stopped from doing so.  The best thing that could happen
in any similar circumstance would be a fast phone call to the AMA or
state licensing agency with a complaint about the practice of medicine
by the same teacher.

There are dangers from ANY drug....and medical and pharmaceutical and
nursing journals full of them!  In this day and age, it is up to the
parents of each child to insist that a complete history be done on their
children before any drug is prescribed, that a complete history of the
family...back to their grandparents...be in that kid's file!  And also
that the pharmacist where the medications are purchased also have a copy
of all of this on file.
