I do not have ONE, not ONE of my friends who does not claim that any of their children DO NOT have ADD and ADHD.
As far as I am concerned it’s an excuse for their children doing poorly in school.
It make me sick.
There’s also other factors, such as the parents doing a poor job of teaching the children that it’s good to go to bed early and wake up early, and to do all your work so you do well in school. Parents that don’t really care, plus teachers that shouldn’t be around children made a pretty bad mixture. I had a teacher that terrorized me the whole school year for no reason. Add to it other students being jerks to me, which always caused me to get in trouble without any questions as to why I was out of my seat.
Just saying, it’s not always some manufactured disease.
