I actually thrive on all the challenges, and I don't feel like ADD has impaired my ability.

If I were put into a college lecture hall right now and told to pay attention for 45 minutes, it would be physically impossible for me to do. I'm one of those people who believe that ADD is a gift. It's tough to manage, but if you can harness it you can do great things.

I have ADD. I can't pay attention to one thing too long.

I've got rid of the ADD, but I do find it hard to concentrate sometimes.

I have severe ADD, and I'm constantly looking to amuse myself.

I do have ADD and in real life, I'm all over the place and can hardly focus. If we were talking for, for more than an hour or so, I'd start drifting off... I can't sit still too long.

I hate tests. It's a really lousy way to judge a person's ability.

Unless you're doing a feature piece, which is going to be longer, and you have more time to get into stuff.

While technology and assessment can help complement the important work of our teachers, I worry that we are spending too much of our time testing.
