Kids still need boundries. If you let kids run rampant, and dont teach them right and wrong, then you will have a larger social once these kids grow up.
As for your university experience, why didn't give the answer you felt was correct, and back it up with a valid argument? That is what university is supposed to be about. If the teacher then gave you a bad mark, challenge them.
Freedom and imagination are great. But not guiding it will make things way way worse.

Great post.
Back on topic: While I agree that ADD and ADHD are terribly over-diagnosed, I seriously doubt that cannabis is the answer. I think using marijuana is quite safe when used in moderation, but we're talking about
daily use for prolonged periods of time. There will always be marijuana users who will insist there aren't any real side effects and its all a conspiracy, etc. but cannabis has a real impact on learning capacity and memory persistence in particular. Maybe the dose will be small enough that these effects are negligible, but I'm afraid of the consequences of prolonged daily use on a developing child.
