Title: The Educational Dilemma of Children with ADHD: Balancing Regular Schools with Special Needs
Body:
On the campus of a primary school in Wuhan, first-graders are supposed to enjoy a carefree school life, but the arrival of a new classmate has caused waves on the calm campus. Xiao Ming (pseudonym), a 7-year-old boy, was worried by his frequent beatings, and even jointly asked him to transfer to another school. Xiao Ming's mother revealed that Xiao Ming had been diagnosed with ADHD but did not receive systemic treatment. This incident has aroused widespread concern about the education of children with ADHD.

ADHD, also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), is a common psychological disorder in children characterized by difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. These traits are especially evident in Xiao Ming, who can't sit still in class, often disturbs other classmates, and even behaves aggressively. Such behavior not only affects the normal learning of other children, but also makes parents worry and uneasy.
Faced with such a situation, the reaction of parents is understandable. After all, every parent wants their child to grow up in a safe and orderly environment. However, is isolating children with ADHD really the best way to solve the problem?
In fact, according to the relevant national policy, children with disabilities, including those with ADHD, have the right to receive education in ordinary schools. Ordinary schools shall, in accordance with the special circumstances of students, provide necessary support and adaptation measures to help them integrate into school life. This is not only a legal obligation, but also a commitment to the principle of educational equity.
To achieve this, there are a number of steps that schools and parents can take. First, schools should strengthen understanding and support for children with ADHD. By providing professional psychological counseling and behavioral intervention, we help them improve their behavioral problems and improve their learning efficiency. At the same time, schools can also provide teachers with relevant training to help them better cope with students with special needs.
Secondly, communication and collaboration between parents is also crucial. Parents should understand and support each other and work together to create a harmonious learning environment for their children. For parents who are concerned about their child's safety, schools can show them how the school is dealing with these issues and how children with ADHD are progressing and changing through regular parent-teacher meetings and communication channels.
In addition, the society's understanding and acceptance of children with ADHD cannot be ignored. ADHD is not a child's fault, nor is it an insurmountable obstacle. Through scientific education and treatment, many children with ADHD are able to integrate into society and lead a normal life. Therefore, we should encourage the public to give more love and support to these children.
Netizen attitude
I feel that the main responsibility for this matter lies with the parents, and I don't know if the school is actively looking for parents to deal with this matter. Parents did not take him for treatment since he was a child, which is the main reason for the current situation, looking at the comment area, many people have similar problems at home, but nothing happened with treatment and accompanying reading since childhood.
What does it mean that ADHD is checked and there is no diagnosis certificate or medication? Does ADHD need no treatment? Does the doctor think that there is no need for treatment? Or does the parent choose to ignore this matter? This parent will not be naïve to think that the child ADHD will be on its own, and the ADHD must be treated in time, if it is not treated, it will only get worse and worse, and it will not be responsible for your own children, so don't affect other people's children.
I also had ADHD as a child. Physiotherapy, psychological interventions, medication aids. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates and my grandmother (my parents don't have much energy) worked together, and in less than 2 years, at least I didn't bother other my classmates. It is likely that parents give up treatment or are unwilling to spend money on intervention, and more likely are that they must intervene with medication, but they are unwilling to use medication. When I was a child, I had a patient whose condition was too serious, and my parents insisted on refusing to take medicine.
When a family member is sick, everyone is willing to understand and empathize, provided that it does not disrupt the normal life of others too much. The most important thing for a child to be sick is to take him to treatment, not to forcibly put him in an inappropriate environment, while causing great distress and harm to the people around him, the tense atmosphere is not beneficial to the patient himself, and even more so to the rest of the class. Instead of hurting each other, why not send him to a special school for a more appropriate education for him.
Finally, it is crucial for parents of children with ADHD to actively seek out a professional psychological institution for treatment. ADHD is a condition that can be improved with medication and psychotherapy. Parents should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment recommendations and provide necessary medical support for their children.
In short, the education of children with ADHD is a complex social issue that requires the joint efforts of schools, parents and society. By providing appropriate educational support, strengthening home-school cooperation, and increasing social understanding, we can help children with ADHD overcome difficulties and realize equal access to education. Let's work together to create a more inclusive and nurturing educational environment for all children.
