Why isn't basic psychology taught in grade/primary school? It really should be. Then again do schools teach? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect our educators are very ignorant. They can not deal with ADHD kids or any one who does not conform to their methods like Autistic children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot expect a regular teacher to have the skills to deal with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be special schools with specially trained teachers who could help students with autism, ADD, ADHD and Aspergers. Now they want everyone in the same schools and classes to be inclusive. They are failing these students. If they don't have TAs, these students are left behind. It's a nice sentiment to want to be inclusive, but reality has to be accepted. Just because you want it to be so doesn't make it so. We need to stop trying to put everyone into a box because it is easier. Not everyone fits in that box. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman Posted October 6, 2020 #82 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Why do people keep necroposting this crap? Saying "something big will happen" four years before a very slightly lethal pandemic isn't prophetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it's still a serious disease. Edited November 22, 2020 by moonman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it's still a serious disease. While that is true, there are those like me who are aged and a bit worn out with existing conditions, where it *is* very likely to be lethal. So unless you add in a whole pile of provisos and numbers...then saying it's 'lethal' in some circumstances is fair. I think if you were able to ask any of the quarter of a million victims in the US (or the 58.5 million globally) they would likely agree on the lethality.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
