Once again Mike Adams blesses us with a letter to one of his students. We should feel compassion for the student, for he suffers from one of those newfangled “syndromes” that are all the rage these days. This one is called ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (I had to look it up—apparently it’s so rampant at university campuses these days that the good professor didn’t even see fit to even have to write it out in long form!).
But as usual, Mike Adams takes a turn and drives a point home. Here’s a snippet:
Dear (name deleted):
Yesterday, I received your email explaining the reasons for your poor performance in my class this semester. While I was pleased that you refrained from asking for a change of grade, I was disappointed that you attributed your bad grade to adult ADHD.
I hope you were kidding when you said that you plan to join an adult ADHD support group. Since you are an 18 year old male, I would suspect that a trip to nearby Wrightsville Beach could cure your “disorder.” If you can’t pay attention to the environment there, you may really have a problem.
Adult ADHD is another one of those problems we didn’t have to deal with when I was growing up. But, now that a few doctors and drug companies have let us know it is out there, everyone seems to be getting it. The list of these disorders just keeps growing, doesn’t it?
