They're more playful and annoying because they have active growing minds

I wish I COULD get diagnosed with something where they would prescribe me METH to get over it.

Desoxyn is methamphetamine pills. Adderall is just amphetamine-HCl

You would think that people would figure that shit out with the first dose of medication since it works opposite in people who don't have ADHD.

What are overperformers supposed to do when they've finished in half the time as their classmates?
Stick their head in their arms?
The answer is to advance them a year and stop holding them back to carry the class and its underperformers so the district's numbers look good.
Lazy fucking teachers and corrupt fucking administrators...

Placement testing and organization by aptitude would be logical. But the system prefers age based homogenization rather than hierarchy. Remember when they thought seating retards next to smart kids would help the dumb kids? They probably still would agree with the concept even though it's been disproven.

Can't whites would rush through school in 9-10 years, niggers would still be there after 15, that what started all of it in the first place.

Whenever I hear an adult say they have ADHD I know they grew up their whole lives not even trying to pay attention to anything.

Ugh and when I hear an adult say "my anxiety" I know they're useless.

It pisses me off because some people actually have it. These posers using a self-diagnosis as an excuse to be a lazy shit is infuriating.
