ADHD Feedback: Some people believe they’re legitamate conditions some think it’s not.
For example a person has been diagnosed with dyslexia. You talk to one group they’ll say it’s caused by a, b, and c or just a which is usually genetics or environment sometimes both.
Then you have the other people who think it’s just that the person doesn’t read enough and therefore can’t read.
ADHD Feedback: As someone who does have a learning disability, the reason why this is such as controversial subject is because many people, including the press, believes that teaching the “Special Education Culture” is an “Expensive waste of taxpayers money.” They believe that; instead of teaching the learning disabled and “Dumbing down the ‘normal’ children” in the process; this money should be put to “Better use”. This include more money to develop a better sports program which helps bring in more money to the high school and to better educate the gifted students; “The students with a future”.
This is total bullsh*t because despite being a member of the “Special Education Culture” when I was in high school, I still managed to not only graduated college but I did so with highest honors. If it was not for my high school special ed teacher, I would have dropped out of school in the 11th grade, and most likely be stuck working at McDonald’s or Taco Bell (Yuck). At least now, if I’m unable to find a job in my chosen field, I have the option to go back to college and try for my Master’s Degree. Thus, proving that teaching the disabled is not a “Total waste of time and money”.
I hope I answered your question.
