My son was diagnosed with ACHD, ADH all sorts of alphabet problems ... my wife and I decided to ignore all and treat him as normal. Guess what? He turned out normal.
****************************************
I attended school 1948-60. If there had been such a thing as these ADD, ADHD, et al, diagnoses back then, then probably 30-50% of the boys in school would have been required to be drugged (including me). We kids were just being normal and were either bored with the classes or otherwise distracted.

I had to attend Summer school to make up classes three times and made straight A’s in the courses there, because they were only about 8 weeks long and got to the meat of the subjects, instead of the length regular terms that were boring. After the Navy, I earned an AAS, BBA and MBA, while working full time and raising a family.

I only know of a couple of boys who committed serious acts later in high school. ...The rest of us turned out quite normal.

If men are different from women, then boys are different from girls. I think there should be two systems of education. Unfortunately feminists think they are men.
