AA # 3



One of the most important things in this post I feel is the way he talks about our educations system and how it is like.  The map is the most shocking part to me about the video.  This whole side of the world is plagued with ADHD or we have more cases of it here.  So I feel this should make people step back and look at what is wrong with this picture.  The one thing I have to disagree on would be the fact that ADD AND ADHD are not real.  I was diagnosed with ADD when I was in the 3rd grade and I have struggled ever since.  I took medication for a while, but I began to feel as if I was in a box and did not like the feeling it gave me.  It is hard for me to keep my attention on one thing for a long period of time and I am horrible at test.  I feel as if the children that have this are written off like we have a fake problem, but it is real.  Looking at what we are bing taught and what the speacker is talking about are close together.  We are learning new ways to make learning more fun not just sitting in a desk with nothing fun to do.  I think the disagreement comes from the fact that a lot of people believe that Add and ADHD are real.  You can watch a child and see that they are having those problems.  I think this was a really neat idea for a video and if I had to chose a job I would say sound because I love music and I think I would be really good at picking the right sounds and where they go.

  1. Hi, I enjoyed reading your opinion about this movie. It was a very busy movie and I really liked it. It is crazy to see the map that shows one side of the US affected with ADHD. I do think it is real, but I don't think a pill solves the problem. I think that these certain children need to have time taken out for them and have one on one time to see what works to help them learn.
    I myself have a hard time taking test and don't like to concentrate on one thing for a long period of time, however I have never been diagnosed with either disorder. I think that educators should also not tell a parent to looking into it, until every approach has been made to see what that child needs. Your blog looks great and I appreciate you allowing me to read it. Thanks,
