School is where many ADHD problems appearschool can help cause or cure ADHD children depending on whether they understand it from a "deficit" or a "learning" model. If they treat it as a deficit, the very things they do to help are likely to make it worse. However, if schools understand how it is created and maintained by learning, then they can be a very positive force for remediation.

In reality, when you see a kid staring at a book, all you really know is that “he is not reading.” There can be many reasons why “he is not…,” only one of which is “He can’t…” Further, “can’t” does not necessarily mean that he has some underlying neurological or intellectual defect, as is usually implied by “he can’t…”

One of the problems with this migration of responsibilities is that we have not equipped schools to handle it. We require the schools to be parents without authorizing schools to use the same range of contingencies that parents have traditionally employed.

He is poking a pencil at Melissa to which she is frowning as she hisses under her breath, “get outta here!” She swings her hand and knocks the pencil out of his hand. He smirks. Mrs. Reed hears the commotion and walks briskly toward Jason’s desk. All eyes rivet on Jason. He sits up straight and has a glint in his eye. Mrs. Reed bends over his desk and starts talking to him about his choices with a mild threat that if he does this again he would have to go to the principal’s office. You observe some of the other children snickering or giggling. Jason glances at them, appearing to feign a serious demeanor as Mrs. Reed gets closer. You can tell by his attitude and her irritated voice, this scenario has happened before, probably many times. His diagnosis…
