WHO'S LEARNING DISABLED? Perhaps it is really TEACHING DISABLED? Read Dr. Baughman's article and then read on to the segment I posted on the Great Expectations Initiative based on Marva Collins' methods.
Though they can't coin acronyms fast enough, the most popular at the moment is ADD Attention Deficit Disorder or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). It is said to affect 33 percent of boys and 15 percent of girls. Who will be left? Pull a pigtail, out of your seat, out of line, thrilled you know the answer and blurt it out: the taggers will get you and it will be out to a doctor not able to confirm the diagnosis. The "disorder is fixed and kept fixed in school by obtaining a prescription for that special addictive medication to calm and quiet the child. ADD researcher McGuiness concluded "Two decades of research have not provided any support for the validity of ADD or ADHD." F. Levy rejoined, "the issue of prescribing powerful behavior controlling medications to children for conditions defined by parents and teachers, remains controversial." In testimony concerning the National Institutes of Mental Health Research Portfolio, I questioned the ethics of studies featuring biological interventions for behavioral disturbances without a proven biological basis.
Other disorders include "Conduct Disorder" (SED) and to go with Dyslexia or "Specific Reading Disability" is "Dyscalculia," a special arithmetic disorder. There is also "Executive Disorder."
Not a single one of these so-called disorders is a brain disease that can be validated.
Teachers have become mere deputy diagnosticians.

Teachers reported they were forbidden to use Phonics.
I cannot help but wonder how they have managed to dilute Phonics still. Making teachers think they are being "creative" when they use rhymes, etc to teach reading rather than DIRECT INSTRUCTION.
