Then you take them and put them in a completely non-stimulating environment where a person stands in front of the class, trying to teach them "boring" stuff (in comparison to the media they're accustomed to consuming).

Then when they don't/can't pay attention, we label them with ADD/ADHD and give them drugs to help them focus.

I wonder if kids that don't attend a preschool are more likely to have that problem.

I know a kid who didn't do a day of preschool and is excelling in his first year of grade school. He's a Kindergartner who's just a few months in and is already taking home 1st grade reading and math homework.

I'm sure we all "know a kid", but just wondering if overall there is a correlation between preschool and adhd diagnosis. I'm pretty sure there is a correlation between attending preschool and basically being a productive member of society from the studies done.

Just one quick one I found.
