Education

Of course I can't speak for all teachers, but I can say that the teachers in 2 states and different schools I've worked with over the decades know the difference between ADHD and general kid energy.

Still, this is an important topic to keep at the forefront of people's minds. The "standards and accountability" "reform" movement's focus on high-stakes testing has been the force behind more and more seat time, less recess, less active time.

I've always, regardless of trends in the system, made sure that there was plenty of opportunities to get up and down and move around in my classroom. I don't like to ask my students to do things that I can't tolerate myself.
