View submission: Thanks I hate it
It's not a weakness, it's just a different way of thinking. The current way of western teaching is broken and outdated. ADHD students only struggle because the academic system is not designed to help or work with them. Western teaching only values conformity and memorization. You aren't actually learning anything, it's just mindless repetition till you can pass the tests and get on to the next grade. But you didn't learn anything every single parent out there took Algebra, Trig, and Geometry to graduate high school. Yet ask them to do it now or the bare minimum of helping their child with their middle school level math and they can't do a damn thing. Because they never learned how to actually do high level math. They just memorized it at the time till the teacher was satisfied and then forgot all about it one month later. There is nothing wrong with how ADHD brains work. It's just a different way of thinking. The problem is with the teaching and academic way of judging students. Stop medicating your kids and stand up for them and try to help them work through the system while actively trying to change it for the better. That is what ADHD children actually need. There is nothing wrong with any ADHD child the only problem is with the parents too lazy to actually do the proper thing for their child and stand up for them so they just chicken out and pay a doctor to shovel drugs down their gullet just so the teacher will leave them alone. Regardless of the long term effects it has on the child. Decreased life span, stunted growth both skeletal and neurological, and non existent creativity and originality. Stop being weak parents and teachers and stand up for kids
There's nothing here!
