You asked me why I didn't learn anything from those experiences and I explained. I'm not claiming to have the answers on how schools should be run or demanding my preferences implemented. I'm explaining my own perspective and acknowledging that the common view on these policies has changed since I was impacted by them. Personal viewpoints and anecdotes are still welcome on HN last I checked. And if you knew one of the specific teachers I was actually referring to, and what he did and why he got fired, perhaps you'd understand why it's difficult to consider him "decent". As a result, I don't assume all teachers mean well by default. But that particular anecdote is not one for HN, and this conversation is boring me as much as that poem. I do hope you found some help for your ADHD though. There are lots of medicines and lifestyle changes that make it possible to function even in extremely demanding roles, though getting it all nailed down is tough.

I think your response to the previous poster highlights your victim mentality. And they do not have a duty to entertain you - nobody cares if their conversation bores you. You seem very self-centered and having mental issues. Perhaps this is likely to have shaped your skewed perspective of an otherwise reasonable education system.

  Yea I was really trying to be direct and empathetic because I think the questions around how to accommodate students and the changing classroom environments is under appreciated, important, and concerning. Your comment is harsh but I agree with it completely.

I am genuinely disappointed you took the discussion in this direction rather than respond to my concern about accommodations.

I don't understand why the other commenters are telling you off. Your initial point was restricted and well made and there doesn't seem to be any relevance to the tangent he tried to go off on after you restated it at his request.
