I was first introduced to this video about 4 years ago in a Music Education class. Even then, the amount of ADHD cases across United States surprised me and made me wonder whether these children really deserve to be medicated... Working in the pharmacy, I continue observing some of the facts stated in this video. I do believe in the shift of the paradigm and I am excited that teachers can play a vital role in creating that positive change!

Adhd children are the ones who found the creeks in the wild, they are the explorers, they learn from doing. It was a valued skill before the industrialized education. Now we punish them by not accepting them for who they are, not giving them opportunities to learn their own way.

Instead of putting students to sleep.. "We should be waking them (students) up to what is inside themselves"

Also, not treating schools like a factory and a production line- I really liked this part of the video.

We need to change our thinking about our children and students, most of those who we say has ADHD, there are only bored students ready for a challenge, we just need to pay attention and help them

We are STUCK in a production line education model. We are over stimulating kids and then punishing/medicating them for not being able to focus. We should wake students up to what's inside - not anesthetize them!

That the educational system today was designed during a different time of enlightenment and industrial revolution.  The Model of the Mind puts people in two buckets of academic and non-academic.  Our senses are at their peak, yet we are anesthesthetizing kids through standardization.

This video made me feel encouraged that we are moving in the right direction in our teacher training with regard to differentiation and creating opportunities for creativity and collaboration.  It is true that the whole system needs to be re-thought for this generation.  Students need to know WHY they are learning things, and learning needs to be relevant to them! (Robyn U.)

The education system deems children as "distracted" or makes students focus on one way of thinking instead of multiple. Children are naturally divergent thinkers, divergent thinking allows creativity however by the time they are adolescents this divergent thinking dwindles.

And we are punishing them for being distracted! In order to push them through today's standard of education, we are anaesthetizing them. We must do the opposite and instead awaken them and make them feel alive.

The Education system is not working as it is, we need to update it as our society evolves and analyze
the effects it is having in kids.

We need to continue to change educational paradigms. Kids are living with so much stimulation all around them. We need variety to actively engage all learners.

The current design of public education is not conducive to helping each student reach their full potential. It forces students along a one-size-fits all conveyor belt factory-style process.
