"just sit still" said to me by pretty much every teacher my entire life.

I'm not sure what teachers should do with chronic leg jigglers and fidgety people, but telling them to just sit still was not a winner lol.

"Get up, go run to that tree, and come back" was sometimes at least somewhat effective, particularly with younger children. Also, getting up and moving for a minute helps with learning anyway.

Nah I just got sent to the principals office for being "purposely distracting" to other students.

Some teachers shouldn't have their jobs.

Do you really think being fidgety as a child is sufficient to consider yourself neuro-atypical?

Sounds like your teacher was just a piece of shit.

Yeah there's fidgety and then there's leg jiggling so aggressively that the entire row of desks is moving and I'm not even noticing because I am so focused on what I am writing down.

Also in adulthood I was finally properly diagnosed with "moderate to severe ADHD". Probably should have done that in highschool when I told my parents but what are you gonna do. Can't change the past.
