Virtual learning creates challenges for students with ADHD

Virtual learning creates challenges for students with ADHD

Multiple Authors January 5, 2021
As students from CPS have switched to virtual learning, they have met many challenges along the way. Although students have gone through a difficult time in this new school year, students with learning disabilities had different experiences adapting to this new learning form. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that causes attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Students with ADHD have struggled with virtual learning due to the symptoms their disorder presents, making it especially hard for them to learn compared to other students.

Personal finance needs a follow up course

Personal finance needs a follow up course

Ethan Hayes March 3, 2019
Monetary responsibility is more than putting five out of your $20 monthly allowance, at least that’s what I learned in summer school when I took Personal Finance. It’s one of the few things I remember from that class. It’s a great course that actually gives students valuable information and real world skills that young people need in adult life. The teacher I had was knowledgeable about financing and money. I had friends around me who made the subject fun to study and participate in. To my surprise, I enjoyed the content. There was something about preparing to be a grown-up that enticed me.
