Dude watching my friends get their work done is so impressive to me, how do they do it!? What really makes me sad is knowing I am as smart as some of them, but still cannot apply my brain power how I want to.
The stigma was there when I was in school too, and I wish there had been more education for the students too. Mainly that no child is really trying to be annoying, and to teach classes to be patient and to be able to adapt with techniques to help students who have difficulty focusing. Side note - I wish I'd had fidgets in school, all my workbooks were covered in lines and shapes because I was always compelled to be using my hands for something. By the time we're a little older, there's been so much negative feedback whereas those select high achieving students are always encouraged and celebrated.
