ADHD

I have a serious problem. I don't really want to let go of the Pri 3 kid just because he has ADHD and learning difficulties. I don't want to shortchange him. I shouldn't give up on him just like that. But the practical me feels that it's only right that I stop tutoring him. Anyone else would do that. Who would want to teach with so much problems at such a low pay. It's true, low pay, long hours, loads of anger and unhappiness. Yet, this kid deserves a chance to be taught too. He needs to be understood and to be educated well. Not just dump him when we find problems with him. Think of it that parents dump their kid when they are born handicapped or wad, isn't that equally cruel. Was thinking about this equality thingy the whole time, nothing can ever be fairly treated, since this fairness is also made from humans. Everyone has a ruler in their heart. Different length and measurements. WHo can ever judge that what ever is fair. No one. No one can.

These are some of the things i read up.. doesn't give me any light yet..

How Is ADHD Treated?
Because there's no cure for ADHD, doctors treat people by helping them to manage the symptoms most effectively. Because some people have more trouble with the attention side of the disorder and others have more problems with the activity side, doctors tailor their treatment to the person's symptoms. So different people with ADHD may have different treatments.

Because ADHD is a broad category covering different things — attention, activity, and impulsivity — it can show up in different ways in different people. Some of the signs of ADHD are when someone:

has difficulty paying attention or staying focused on a task or activity
has problems finishing assignments at school or home and jumps from one activity to another
has trouble focusing on instructions and difficulty following through
loses or forgets things such as homework
is easily distracted, even when doing something fun
has problems paying close attention to details or makes careless mistakes
has trouble organizing tasks and activities
has difficulty waiting one's turn
interrupts or intrudes on other people
blurts out answers before questions have been completed
fidgets with hands or feet or squirms about when seated
feels restless
talks excessively and has trouble engaging in activities quietly

What Is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia (pronounced: dis-lek-see-ah) is a type of learning disability. A person with a learning disability has trouble processing words or numbers. There are several kinds of learning disabilities; dyslexia is the term used when people have difficulty learning to read, even though they are smart enough and are motivated to learn. The word dyslexia comes from two Greek words: dys, which means abnormal or impaired, and lexis, which refers to language or words.

Dyslexia is not a disease. It's a condition that you are born with, and it often runs in families. People with dyslexia are not stupid or lazy. Most have average or above-average intelligence, and they work very hard to overcome their learning problems.
