CRACK Babies have a form of ADD that is called
"Racing Brain Syndrome" (RBS). A useful analogy for this mental condition is that of a centrifugal pump that is being over-driven. As the pump speed increases, cavitation sets in and the pump's output decreases. The faster the pump is driven the greater the cavitation until a point is reached where large amounts of energy are being input but nothing is being output. Without medication there is a sensation that thoughts flash through the brain too fast to "think" them.

they do need tutors but they also need a treatment program that works and it isn't Ritalin.... because that makes the condition even worse.

Do you know what the best treatment is? you'd be surprised.

words are NOT stored in our heads like copied text on a hard drive

when i say apple you see this in your brain first

you do not see this first APPLE

that comes after you mentally see the picture and is formulated by the brain as being associated with that picture

so kids whose Mothers were on Crack or cocaine or a mixture of both when pregnant
because they are all essentially derived from bathtub drugs

have children who cannot learn because of Attention deficit disorder because the pictures are traveling so fast they cannot focus on a single one...because they have already moved to the next one and so on and so on.
