Vickie asked:

What is the origin of your URL? What is a dhd, and why do you hate it?

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. As an educator I hate it for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, both children and parents use ADHD as an excuse for inappropriate behavior. Parents often make unreasonable demands based on their child’s ADHD. If a kid is bored in class and acts out its ADHD. If he tells his teacher to “fuck off,” it’s because he hasn’t taken his meds. This email was written about a kid who has ADHD.

Sorry. I’m full of shit. My URL was an immature reaction to another woman’s blog. She called me crazy, so I changed my URL to reflect my indignation. I’ve written about it here and more recently here.

I’d go into more detail, but frankly, it’s embarrassing.
