Who's on drugs?

This Is Your (Father’s) Brain on Drugs is a must read for anyone who wants to catch up on the latest research in teenage brain development. Here's the gist of this article,

"More responsible brain researchers — like Daniel Siegel of the University of California at Los Angeles and Kurt Fischer at Harvard’s Mind, Brain and Education Program — caution that scientists are just beginning to identify how systems in the brain work...Why, then, do many pundits and policy makers rush to denigrate adolescents as brainless? One troubling possibility: youths are being maligned to draw attention from the reality that it’s actually middle-aged adults — the parents — whose behavior has worsened."

You've got to read the compelling evidence listed right after the last statement. When I read this article it lit a fire inside of me to not just want to reach students, but their parents as well.
