way to harness that ADHD!

I'm not all for the Common Core because I've decided that teaching is an imperfect duty ( http://www.uark.edu/campus-resources/rlee/intrau04/oh/k-perf.html ).

What I mean is, the flexibility required of the duty of teaching makes it so hard nosed data collection is never going to accurately reflect the quality of the teaching being done. Therefore, the standardized testing that goes hand in hand with the common core should be abolished.

I have a student right now who can't stop his limbs from going numb and needs to constantly leave class because of some scary combination of ADHD meds and energy drinks he took. I've spoken with mom and the nurse, given him assignments, but beyond that there's not much I can do to reach out to this student. It is not fair or right that my pay be tied to a student(s) in a bizarre situation beyond my control.

And yes, I could be a teacher from pop culture films that follows him home and just mentors this kid, but this student is not alone. I've got literally 150 students all with unique problems and baggage. I get them for 5 hours a week (when they are actually there) and they spend the other 163 hours of the week doing who knows what.

THAT SAID

This video, however, has obvious motives besides just abolishing the common core. Sex education SHOULD be a part of the curriculum and states that adopt sex education tend to have the lowest incidents of teen pregnancies. Mississippi teaches their sex ed classes by passing around peppermint patties (yes, really: http://articles.latimes.com/2014/apr/02/nation/la-na-ms-teen-pregnancy-20140403 ) and, not surprisingly, has the highest incidents of teen pregnancy.

Get it through your fucking skull, religious nuts. Teaching sex ed PREVENTS kids from having sex, not the other way around.

Common core is certainly not something positive that's happened in the education system in the past year, but I'd still take it over what some jesus cheerleaders want to replace it with.

HAHAHAHA! ADHD for SURE! A comedy Star is Born. *promote the hilarity.

You mean the opposite. I went through years of rigorous training for academic decathalon and we went through facts at a much brisker pace. Oh shit... is that what made me ADHD?

DAMN YOU USAD!!! DAMN YOOOOUUUUUUU..!

Sorry in advance for the hate-filled pose, but:

Dooooohhh...

Fuck Radiolab. This piece shit construct of modern media ruins otherwise intelligent radio. Apparently the "ADHD" generation has become so much the norm that we can no longer listen to an entire sentence, so they cut every micro-thought up with hosts speaking over one another constantly.

You will never hear an interview on this "show". You will hear a topic, and few seconds of clips by some people who are remotely associated with the story, while these attention-whores decide to constantly, constantly, cut off the sound clip and proceed to, not even just tell you what the person was going to say, but they'll cut right in mid-sentence and guess what the person was going to say, and then have their little not-for-resale mini-quips interrupting each other back and forth while they try to form a coherent thought.

Evidently their audience lacks the patience to hear one speaker say more than 5 words in a row, and is incapable of forming their own thoughts based off of someone from the source of the topic, so they'll intentionally stumble around their "presentation" to help you form what to think.

And you know I loath to use general labeling, but they are to the liberal media, what fox is to the conservative. Fuck these people to a bloody, messy, death.

are you an md? if you are, the number of patients you see, the treatments you can provide, and what drugs you deal are dictated by insurance and pharmaceutical companies, and you have no choice but to comply while you pay off your 200k in loans.
Do you know what iatrogenic death means, or what the rate of iatrogenic death is? check it out....
There is plenty of quackery in the western md world.

as for Chiropractic, at least they are attempting to address the most glaring hole in western medicine: the rather obvious relationship between the structure of the body and the function of the body.

And when it comes to somatic/structural issues - which make up over 50% of hospital visits, and of which the western world treats with drugs or surgery, the chiro's at least have some of the theory correct, it's just their methodology that is fucked.

But, as for fundamental quackery, let's look at how the western world treats kids. First, hook them on sugar, then call them ADHD and give them methamphetamine salt (Adderol), followed by Ambien cause they can't sleep, followed by Prozac caused they are depressed cause they can't sleep, ...all the while they are raiding mom's medicine cabinet for the oxycontin or whatever opiate derivative they can find.
yeah, it's a JOKE. But we were trained to bow to authority, call the doctor god and worship the white coat and piece of paper on the wall.

I mean, for fuck's sake, listen to the side effect list of any major drug out there. really? that's "health care". bullshit.

Western md's shine in trauma, which was learned from our spirited attempts to have a continual state of warfare. for that they are top-notch. Anti-biotics were a huge deal, but all they've learned to do since the advent of penicillin is to make analogue after analogue, and they've stuffed so many people full of anti-biotics for just about every malady, that we are becoming genetically resistant to them as a species.
health care. yup.
how many of you out there can even afford this type of "health care"?
but please, do some research and go on for hours.

Finally, an informative video that isn't hyper-edited by an ADHD sufferer.

I swear he has ADHD.
He didn't stop bobbing around through the whole video.
His movements remind me a lot of Robin Williams.

Either that, or he has to go pee REALLY bad!

Ow, my ADHD

Combining ADHD and a seizure for your viewing pleasure!

I didn't have ADHD 4:32 ago, but I do now.

But... I like tits..

kid gets fatter and her teeth worse every year... hurray for High Fructose Corn Syrup and Estrogen-like Activity in plastics! Ruining more than a generation of our fellow persons before they even go to school.
These things are responsible for the Obesity, Early Puberty, and ADD/ADHD, the main health problems... and yet Corporations are People, my Friend (tm).
Read the labels, eat cheaper fruits and vegetables, and drink filtered tap water... you will live longer and not grow tits.
