1st Grade Inattentiveness
The first grade teacher lead the class in several songs. The students
loved these moments; the amusing songs brought smiles to their faces—even to the
teacher’s.
She announced a favorite song which had a superb ending. “Today,
do NOT sing ‘Quack Quack” at the end; you ‘re too loud”
As song began, an
unaware girl in the third row was singing at the top of her voice, even until
the conclusion when she belted out a raucous solo, “QUACK QUACK!!!!”
The class and teacher turned and
stared.
“Head down NOW, you
little rebel!”
Tears flowed in sheer humiliation.

I know that feeling - I was one of those "inattentives" when I was in school. I was "lazy" and a "daydreamer". Of course, in the 1950's they had little idea of ADD and what it was all about.
