13-Year-Old Trades iPod For a Walkman For a Week 354

BBC Magazine convinced 13-year-old Scott Campbell to trade in his iPod for a Walkman for a week and see what he thought. Scott thinks the iPod wins when it comes to sound quality, color, weight, and the shuffle feature. The Walkman, however, offers two headphone sockets, making it much easier to listen to music with a friend. My favorite part of the review is, "It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equalizer, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette."

As someone who struggled with undiagnosed ADHD until diagnosed in my thirties, I can assure you that ADHD has nothing to do with our educational system.

Our educational system may be abusing the diagnosis and pushing the use of drugs inappropriately. It may be ignoring or failing to address the individualized needs of students.

That doesn't discount the reality of ADHD.

The way in which you broadly discount ADHD by blaming the educational system is no more credible than teachers diagnosing their students as ADHD.
