Believe it or not, once, I was a child. Back then, there wasn't ADHD or dyslexia. They stuck all those kids in one class for retards. I'm not trying to be offensive by using the term retard but that is what is was called but it was changed when I went to Jr. High to Special Ed.
I've seen a lot of kids who act like you describe, even myself. I know bipolar is real but sorry, I don't buy it in a little kid.
All the parents who had kids with 'special needs' were happy when autism and dyslexia were discovered. No longer was their kid retarded, now they were special needs and like most things parents and teachers do, they made it worse. They stick the special needs kids in with regular students, I forgot the term but it's not fair to the other kids to have to slow down the class because of one student.
When I went to school, I was always the first one done and read out loud perfectly, but they never called on me or others like me. No, they had the worst reader read aloud. It didn't help them read but it sure embarrassed them. Most teachers are useless, when you are at the top of the curve, it must threaten them so they try to take it out on the kids. I could count on one hand the teachers that were great at what they did from kindergarten to college. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Fine. You don’t buy it. I don’t know why you would believe in adult bipolar, and not childhood bipolar. Exactly what day do these kids suddenly turn bipolar? I knew there was something wrong with my son from the time he was a toddler. You should try living with it. Maybe you’d understand.
Bipolar/ADHD/autistic kids are often much smarter than average. My son tested at a genius level. Not all “special needs” children cause problems in a classroom.
