Well I had a student in 5th grade who had ADHD and couldn't concentrate. Talking to the teacher and interacting with the student one-on-one we came to find out he could possibly be gifted! His mother refused to medicate him. So my question is how would you go about bringing this issue up to like the gifted program dept at the school? The classroom teacher said they wouldn't consider him because he has such a hard time focusing and doesn't even turn in his assignments. I think he could have been bored and ADHD at the same time. How can we have the school look past that and get him some challenging classes?

Haha! I can see how it can get confusing but I LOVE IT!!! I think you have to adjust it depending on the age. It also forces students to participate!!

I think I will!!! I know a lot of people say they won't, but I am a product of some of that boring stuff and I hated it!! I also excitement of the students when I mention we will be rapping or doing something as simple as a powerpoint. They love it... so how can I not love it!! All I can say is I will try my best! These students wake up to come to school so the least I can do is teach them with all my heart! =)

hope
i hope you are able to keep that attitude 2 or 3 years in!

the first video really hurt my head. I'm so glad I wasn't in his class. I would not have been able to follow anything he said. I'm also afraid that if I came in 2 days later I wouldn't remember a bleepin thing he said. I get the microteach and quick responses but it was not something i could follow
