High school teacher (grade 9) one of my best students got diagnosed with "muh ADHD" this week. Here's what he told me.
The doctor (a GP) gave him a list of ten questions. It went something like this:
-
Do you sometimes struggle to finish tasks?
-
Do you sometimes have problems paying attention in class?
-
Do you sometimes get bored?
Who the F is going to say no to any of this? Anyway, he got diagnosed with muh ADHD and now he's on pills, probably for life. The pills he gets are amphetamines by the way. Yes, really.
I'm a fucking teacher and I get bored by my class sometimes. Guess I need speed too.
This is 90%+ student by the way. Imagine diagnosing a complex mental condition (if it even exists) in five minutes, tops, and then being put on pills for life.
Absolutely disgusting.
Will be interesting to see if he stays that way after being drugged up.
probably not, the meds will make him docile forcing him to listen better. the adults will call this "better behavior", when it is in fact suppression of the student's mind itself.
instead of the student being taught to listen and take responsibility for himself, the student is being taught that he is inherently broken and daddy pill pusher can fix him.
Oh, I was thinking he meant this is 90% of students are on legal speed. That certainly seemed to be the case many years ago when I was in university.
No the kid has a 90%+ average haha
