School is obsolete. Get it at home
It couldn't possibly be that our school system sucks, and that being given five seconds to stop, take a deep breath, and think about that, might just be the wake-up call that our children needed. I think the better question is: why haven't the adults woke up yet?
School certainly messed me up as a kid. I'm still working through the trauma decades later.
Average child with ADHD hears 20,000 additional critical or corrective messages before their 12th birthday. That can have significant impact on self-image and self-worth. They have feeling they're profoundly defective, incompetent.

- mimicking or copying other people in social situations

Bullying is rampant in our schools. Catholic schools are just the worst for bullying. I wouldn't want to attend school these days, too stressful.
Perhaps all schools are ripe with bullying. Though I doubt private schools have the same problem.@user-oy3yo7qe6o
Bullying in Aussie schools must be bad all over. Though probably not in private schools.@user-oy3yo7qe6o
It has always been like this expect more children are refusing to go.
We need more schools set up for the functioning autistic and less social children less pressure and bullying.
Smaller classes for the exceptional
More HOMESCHOOLING
I can reflect on this, bullying and all things cruelty, there's always at one point where I, myself... don't want to go to school anymore because of the trauma that I'm having right now. Overwhelmed from it, too.
People can develop specific fears as a result of learning.
LITTLE ALBERT EXPERIMENT
Fear is combination of bodily sensation, coupled with images and with certain thoughts. Sensation itself is just sensation. When you couple it with image in flashback of PTSD or with thoughts This will never end, make it into fear.
YT Peter Levine
Watson believed that all fears and behaviors are learned.
Watson wanted to prove that your fear and behavior is learned. Everything that humans do is learned.
Little Albert Experiment
Watson observed that young children have an innate fear of loud noises. Following the principles of conditioning he wanted to prove that he could induce a child to fear something that he wouldn't normally fear.
Little Albert Experiment
Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling from others.
ALBERT BANDURA
By imitating the behaviour of others, children are highly likely to receive positive reinforcement for the type of behaviour that is considered most appropriate.

This doesn't represent any of the schools I have worked in at all.
"Any attempt to dictate what thoughts, feelings, and sensations are proper or improper creates a breeding ground for guilt and shame"

Indoctrination?
Brainwashing
But we have some of the highest paid teachers in the world? 🤔
Neurotypical (NT) personality:

"neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one or the only correct one"
Even with label ADHD, so many of us believe we should be able to just tough it out if we use enough willpower. This is one of the big myths of our society: “is that anybody can convince their brain to do anything of they just try hard enough”.
"ADHD, Self-Esteem, and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria"
“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, surrounded by a$$holes.”
I have autism so I have difficulty reading faces. So unless it's like an obvious smile I have no idea what you're thinking of or feeling. With RSD I will going to assume negative, I can't define smile - I'll go with: you're angry.
