That isn't just controversial, it's so ignorant. I have ADHD. Damn, I wished I had been diagnosed in my youth and gotten proper treatment. My life is night/day with treatment.

How do you explain how many more kids have it today? It is SO many more kids and not just because of additional diagnoses. It has to be environmental somehow.

There are as many poor and neglectful parents as there have ever been. You can't explain a change (increased incidence of ADHD) with something that hasn't changed (parenting quality). Science 101.

False. Screens and screentime have increased by orders of magnitude.

And there are many who believe it has negative results, especially for kids.

Researchers found by age 5, children who spent two hours or more per day, looking at screens, were 7.7 times more likely to meet criteria for a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, than children who watched screens for 30 minutes or less each day.

OVER SEVEN TIMES more likely to show symptoms of ADHD!

It was also found the kids that were Not allowed to look at a screen or play video games had such bad hand eye coordination they make terrible surgeons.

You all must have toddlers.

Ok? Correlation is not causation. You have screen times for your high schooler?! I doubt this!

Google the research I just grabbed the 1st result. I’m not saying let them play 24x7 but most surgeries are done with electronic screens and video games help.

Oh 😂 I am talking about people who think they will be able to set screen time for their teens. Absurd. My kids have no limits on screen time beyond the other forces that control their lives, like homework, sports, going out with friends, or music lessons. As long as they maintain a 4.0 (or super close to it —no Cs), they can play as much PS4/switch or watch YT as much as they want.

4.0 lol

Why is a 4.0 funny?

Your kid is punished for straight B’s or getting 1 C lol you are crazy.

I was thinking the opposite. At our mediocre public high school a 4.0 is barely 50th percentile.

I agree! Kids do not have fully developed brains/impulse control so fighting seems like a reasonable solution for some. Schools should force them into therapy with counselors to discuss feelings and dealing with impulses and anger. We would have a much better society!

Uh no. Have you ever worked in a school
Other students are traumatized but witnessing violence. They don't feel safe. Curious, would you say the same about a man who beats his wife?

A fight is 2 people engaging in a fight.

Assault is when 1 person assaults another person.

It’s different

They don't. They do, however, get paternity leave.

They shouldn’t get paternity leave unless they are a single father.

Here’s mine: fathers should be required to take paternity leave. If they don’t take all their leave, then they can’t get paid.

Or if they don’t take paternity leave they don’t get to be called a parent.

Those who are not parents but have to take up the jobs of those on maternity/paternity leave should get the same leave because they had to do the work of two.

I agree with one exception. I'm still allowed to spank my wife.

I disagree.

Schools should teach about all religions to all students and try and find the commonalities in all of them from an early age. This will lead to a harmonious society.

Parents should teach about their religion to students in a way that there is emphasis on the humanitarian aspect of religion only. This will connect the children to others in the community and improve their mental health.

Religion should never be taught in school unless it is a Seminary

You mean belief in God or Gods. Because plenty of other beliefs are taught in school. Not math, not reading, science, history, just straight up beliefs.

Sometimes I really wonder how some of you made it through middle school and beyond. Because you lack all logic. You think students are not traumatized by witnessing a fight but what you call an assault is a no no. JFC

I got into fights all through grade school and only a couple in high school. No teachers intervened and no police were called. No one was permanently harmed. It's how we settled things back in the day. Argue with another boy, and a fight for after school, sometimes during school was instantly arranged and you better show up. It really was no big deal.

Agree. Public schools would be so much better without all the catering to the IEP’s and 504’s. Pretty soon those kids and poor kids will be all that are left in the publics because everyone else will have left.

Yes, my kid is expected to work to his ability. C is an F in my house because I know him. He thinks we are really easy going compared to his friend’s parents. It’s all relative. We have never had to take away privileges. Will this work for you? No idea because I don’t know your kids.

Oh puhleeze … our DD had an IEP and is now doing a PhD in a rarefied stem field … her BF had an IEP and now works for NASA. Many many students with IEPs are truly brilliant (gifted talented with learning differences) … if they get the supports they need when they are young, they usually have a lot to contribute to society. If they don’t, they are much more prone to being life long burdens on either their families or the state. It is a win win for them and society to help them to flourish.
