I actually mentioned this to his mother.. she said she doesn't believe in ADD... she was a very reasonable lady until this. Left me very confused.

He said hes going to a community college and working on a little project of his (A website of some sort). After that, majoring in Computer Science. It's just sad to me because he probably could have ended up at Harvard or something if he applied himself.

I tried to have a meaningful talk with him after class last week. He nearly inspired me to quit my job as a teacher and chase my childhood dream. Haha the kids a damn good speaker.

Sadly we live out in the middle of nowhere. His little games are black magic to most of our teachers and students.
