[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is such an epidemic of ADHD, could the problem be the curriculum and the way education is approached in this country instead of the kids’ executive functioning limitations? In other countries like Finland and Russia, kids aren’t taught to read until age 6-7 and there’s more emphasis on play during the early years. Not only that, but there’s also a vocational “track” for kids who aren’t college-bound. The US was like this even for the Gen X cohort. Kindergarten was about play and high schools offered (some) vocational training. I get that technology has changed things but the same technology is present in other countries…[/quote] The culture in Finland and Russia, even amount the non wealthy people is entirely different. Their education culture in specific is different. You can’t compare. [/quote]
