Back from vacation. Already feeling more productive in the last 30 minutes than I'd been in the prior two weeks before celebrating the fourth with family and friends.
Already reading stuff like this and getting all excitable about it:
What they found is a correlation between a high rate of diagnosis and
state laws that penalize school districts if not enough students pass
standardized tests. While all public schools face financial pressures to
improve test scores since No Child Left Behind was passed in 2001, some 30
states had passed similar laws before them, and those correlate very strongly
with states that have high rates of ADHD diagnosis and medication.
It's the researcher's mind in me. Apparently reading in a reclined
position in the sun, taking pictures, dancing, and eating lots and lots
and lots and lots of food doesn't completely do it for me. I need data, people. Explore more here:
