Veltz Meshugener -“1a. This is true for several reasons. One is the existence and definition of ADHD. A strong case can be made that there is no such thing as ADHD in a qualitative sense, rather, people possess the ability to concentrate in different quantities. If that were true, then society owes it to children to reform the school system and childhood environment to address the needs of more children more regularly.”
The first part I believe is hogwash. The second part you make somewhat of a point. It would definitely help those who are Not really ADHD, but for whatever reasons they have been labeled as such. I don’t believe these are the vast majority of those with an ADHD diagnosis. This has been discussed previously in the CR.
Those that actually have ADHD – maybe a few will be helped with Special Ed (I’ll call it this because that’s what you’re really calling for on a widespead basis), but most will need Meds and/or Therapy along with the possibility of Special Ed.
