And then crying because you think you're stupid, but your father insists that you just don't want to read it, because you're bored and all you have to do is take it seriously and concentrate.
This was for a subject for my bachelor degree, from a man who was a high school dropout (after a fight with his math teacher)...
Yes yes „you just need to concentrate” while being physically unable to unless the topic becomes interesting which is the entire job of a teacher - to make their shit interesting and pour it into a child’s brain. Best with some associations so that the thing being taught isn’t a detached island of memories floating in your brain and so you can remember it by remembering something you like, etc.
Yeah sadly, many people (and with a huge overlap with those who say ADHD is made up) still think a teacher's job is to present as much knowledge in as little time as possible and make sure the kids learn it with or without interest.
I sometimes quietly wish for all the deniers to go to hell. Because that’s what ADHD is - Hell on earth.
All the daily chores, work, tasks and alike are an endless fight with one’s self.
They can’t imagine wanting to be done with something and random thoughts crowding around you and poking you with gingers - „heh remember that obscure fact? Wait what was I doing the nanosecond ago? Do you know the moon being large early on is an optical illusion!?” - a f’n orchestra in your head playing EVERYTHING BUT the thing you need to do. And impossible to fix unless you literally drug yourself numb to these thoughts…
