Is there more to this? It seems like it cuts off abruptly.

I usually enjoy these animations, but I find this one rather misguided. While the author acknowledges that most child psychologists believe that ADHD exists, he goes on to treat it as wholly fictitious. As someone who has ADHD and takes medication for it, I have never found the medication to anesthetize me, but have had what the author of this piece would call aesthetic experiences on it. It's really hard to be fully engaged with a piece of art when you have untreated ADHD and *cannot* focus. Perhaps it is an anesthetic for those who take the medication without having ADHD, but I think it's irresponsible to act as though the majority of those diagnosed with the disorder do not have it.

I'm willing to entertain arguments that the increased diagnoses are related to cultural changes, but that doesn't necessarily make the diagnoses false. It's plausible to me that the demands of modern life make those with ADHD less able to function, whereas in previous periods the disorder was less of an impediment. I agree that the educational system needs to be changed, but I'm disappointed that the author chose to scapegoat ADHD, which is all too common and makes life more difficult for those of us with the disorder.

That was good. I was fully prepared to hate it and to come on here and rant, given the level of debate over public education in the United States right now, which amounts to "teachers are bad!"

<3 I really love education revolution ideas. This one was particularly well worded and substantive.

Re: ADHD, his argument overall is more "ADHD may exist, but it's not a problem to be solved as much as it is a symptom of this system not working." Put those very same kids in kinetic learning environments where they can pursue whatever they truly want to and they would be as good at it as anyone else, if not better. Force them to sit in chairs and learn what is not important, and they end up being told they have a problem.

A previous poster stated, " My boyfriend has ADD and takes medication without which college classes ... would be immeasurably more difficult." That's part of the POINT. It's the college classes that are the problem, not the ADD. The life tasks part I cannot comment on, because I do not know their specificity or if he has an actual diagnosable case of ADD, but many people just don't fit in the modern educational system.

I agree that ADHD is not a trivial matter as might be perceived from the video, however lets not deviate from the essence that the author is actually trying to put across. The fact that our education lacks self initiative and is held in isolation from the evolving reality, the batch processing that pertains to defined norms and constructs, the rigid attitudes towards art/aesthetics/play as well as the fact that education doesn't necessarily mean learning, are certainly issues that haunt our societies and their future

Yes, education is very important!
