Teachers When You Have ADHD

[00:00:00]Remember, there's no such thing as stupid questions. Now, I'm going to stare at the one neurodivergent kid who I fully expect to ask a stupid question.

[00:00:06]Did you just roll your eyes at me?

[00:00:08]You just looked up and then down. That's rolling your eyes. Oh, you think I made a mistake on the grading and you want to come tell me? I'm going to get really mad at you and embarrass you in front of everybody and say that you're trying to control my class. You're going to randomly have C's on your test sometime even though your answers are the exact same as your classmates and you just know that you were scored wrong on purpose. That's enough. Go put your name on the board.

[00:00:28]I don't care that Kyle did that yesterday and he didn't have to put his name on the board. We're worried about you right now. Why are you always raising your hand? Give someone else a chance. Or it's the complete opposite.

[00:00:37]You never raise your hand in my class.

[00:00:39]You need to learn how to participate more. I don't care if you got to the right answer in the end, you didn't show your work. Yeah, I know Sarah didn't show her work either and I didn't deduct points off her score. I like her. What's that? You skipped ahead in the reading because of your ADHD and everybody else was reading too slow. You're losing recess. If anybody has any questions to ask, feel free to raise your hands.

[00:00:59]Justin, you can put yours down.
