"This kid is smart. Let's put him in the top class."
[gets put in the top class]
"This kid's grades are mediocre. Let's put him in the mediocre class."
[grades remain mediocre, because it was never 'challenge' that was the issue, it was 'remembering to turn in homework']

"What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"
"There's nothing wrong with you, you need to stop making excuses."
My kid doesn't have ADHD
I went undiagnosed until mid-30s, then I finally get treatment, which allowed me to finally finish my degree while making Dean's List while getting the rest of my life in order.
What was the treatment?
20mg Adderall XR and I feel like a new person.
All my teachers loved me
"I know you're smart but" was a constant refrain of my school days, usually followed by "but you need to apply yourself"
I was never very funny, funny enough.
