Eliza, I came in to only teach Math...I approached the teaching of it, by getting the students involved, in a way that WAS interesting to them..and it DID hold their attention. The is a LOT of misdiagnosis of kids, and some adults slough it off as ADD...when it was no such thing..and BTW, a child who hears that from his/her parents, and is treated as such, can cause more damage, than the actual condition.

Not ALL ADD is accurately identified..and when I hear someone say this or that person has it, I tend to be a bit skeptical..and ALWAYS consider the source!...and observe for myself.
The example I posted, was because the class was an alleged class of ADD kids....I related to them as one on one, with no anticipated ADD interactions...and it was amazing how well we related...AND they DID learn!

When I first posted a few years ago, I think it was a topic about relationships of one form or another...and I warned that I did NOT want to get involved with the topic...because I did know what I was talking about, and through educated eyes....that's before I knew that a lot of the Mudcatters were politically wasted beyond the point of common sense.
It was to that same audience that you came on and played your games.
let's not repeat the same bullshit.
If you have a related topic, post it....not this 'rally the troops around my political cause', because you fancy yourself as some sort of political activist...OK?

Let's stick to facts and not try to play to the crowd, and persuade with mere sophistry..
