    I agree with you, …
    I agree with you, but the problem is it is a whole system. One principal just won’t be ABLE to change the curriculum. The curriculum is decided by the government, and if you deviate from the curriculum, your school may lose it’s credibility and/or funding. So how could we try to change this?

    I feel really sorry for TroyBagnell and (how clever) puke4shit. I was also amused at how many people were struck dumb by the idea that ADHD was a made up disease. This was great!

    “he spends all his time cracking unfunny jokes and not covering the subject” well, those jokes are there to engage the audience into what he’s saying. they seemed to be laughing quite a bit, so I guess it worked. also, he only had 20 minutes but made his point pretty well.

  20. if you want more …
    if you want more information, watch the documentary Generation Rx, or Consuming Kids. both are pretty good, they cover the world kids have to grow up in today. it’s not the exact same message, but it’s lots of evidence to support what Ken is talking about.

    And in your opinion, what is the subject?
    Many of us seem to understand him without any problems while enjoying the humour. His points are very serious and well founded, and desperately need recognition!

    In my opinion, this is stupid. He spends all his time cracking un-funny jokes and not covering the subject.
