[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 children, 1 male. Ever since my son started daycare when he was 2, teachers have noticed that he is high energy, can’t sit still, talks out of turn, etc. We had him tested in grade 2, and he is just a high energy kid. He is now 12, in grade 7 and monitors his behaviour better. He is a hands on learner who is bored with many of the teaching strategies, and topics. He has an extreme interest in science and space and knows more than his academic sister, who is 4 years older than him. Honestly, after having 2 daughters who fit the mold of the ideal student, I can see where the public school system can be difficult for kids who learn in different ways. [/quote]

Well it makes sense. Most teachers are women. Young girls are taught to act like them, they sit and do as they're told. Young American boys are not taught that. They're allowed and encouraged to be wild and do whatever they want. But that doesn't jive well with the primarily female teacher population. Thus, the ADHD diagnosis was born.[/quote]
