[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a family with ADHD, I cannot emphasize enough that CLUTTER is very distracting for students with attention problems. Teachers seem to think that more is better, but actually less is better. There is a subset of teachers that understand this in middle and high school, but elementary teachers are the worse offenders.

Chevy Chase ES has a wealthy PTA and enough funds and space to create a wellness room with walking desks, string chairs, fountains and all sorts of relaxation items. This is great, and unfortunately not possible for overcrowded schools with no spare classrooms, or low-income schools. I am ALL for sharing funds across PTAs!!!

But in terms of visual clutter inside regular classrooms, it's very detrimental to students sensitive to distractions.[/quote]

x10000 times this

teachers who are having a hard time getting kids to do their work need to start with themselves and evaluate why they have such a cluttered and distraction filled room and the. wonder why kids are distracted!![/quote]

And parents should realize that hours of screen time isn't helping kids to be able to focus.[/quote]
