@@sarahmcdonnell3389 no it’s not hard to focus and study. Everything in this episode happened because Bart refused to focus and study. He deserved everything in this episode.
I think what gets me on this is the animation when he’s crying. The voice acting is great, but just the fact that you can see his face start to crumple up eats at me
Bart Simpson is a perfect example of ADHD. As someone with ADHD, this is exactly what it’s like for us. People like to believe that ADHD doesn’t exist and that it’s just an excuse for children being unruly and lazy. No! We genuinely struggle so much. We WANT to do well. We WANT to be able to just focus and stop our mind from constantly racing. We WANT to be able to just sit still and not be hyperactive. But we genuinely can’t no matter how hard we try.
Yes, I can relate to everything here. I was 17 when this was first released. It's even more painful to watch now, 30 years later. So painful that I can't watch the end of this clip.
exactly! you know you have the potential to do well, but it's so much harder than the neurotypical. every time i came to class, it felt like everyone else had a head start - like they were given some email with important information that wasnt sent to you. always feeling so held-back, always feeling lost and information was being sent to you through foggy glasses.
90% of the issue isn't to do with ADHD. 'mental illness' is in most cases used for a scapegoat for our shitty education system. I am not saying it doesn't exist, or minimising the mental health crisis kids face today, but I know for sure the current schooling system only makes it worse. But hey, pharma is making a killing off -meth- ADHD medication, and is sharing that profit via -bribery- lobbying. everything is fine. Shut up. Everything is fine.
I really love how everyone is genuinely proud of Bart for barely passing with just a D- While it's not the best grade to get, it's still progress for him, and progress deserves to be praised
As someone with a learning disability this hits close to home. I know what it feels like to work your absolute hardest and force yourself to study even when you don’t want to just to barely scrape a pass.
@@agamergirl9805 is it my fault that my mum yelled at me for having bad grades? is yelling at your child okay if they get a bad grade? no. grades don't even matter rn
@@noiKAPUT It can be your fault for having bad grades. Yelling can be morally justifiable if the purpose is to awaken the child so that he can fulfill his academic potentials. Parenting is much more complex than you'd like to think, and so are grades. One important scene that this video cropped out was Homer & Marge seeing Bart sleeping on his book, so they assumed that Bart was trying his best to pass, but that the reason he didn't, at least according to them is that he was not smart, so they couldn't blame him for that. However, he fell asleep only a few seconds into studying. Ironically, it was the psychiatrist's warning that he'd have to repeat the fourth grade, along w/Ms. Edna shaming Bart in front of his parents about his declining marks that triggered Bart's urge to pass the test. Is instilling fear bad? Is shaming bad? Well, Bart was momentarily uncomfortable, yes, but on the long-run, he was gratified.
I have ADD and an auditory processing disorder, so staying focused and understanding things was a very big struggle for me. Plus I was also bit of a procrastinator. I did, however, do good (grade wise and behavior) throughout elementary-high school and years of college. But man was it a struggle. So this episode really mirrored how I felt throughout my life. Like I feel his stress, anxiety and desperation.
as someone with ADHD this feels all too familiar to me. being an underachiever because you fear failing, forcing yourself to work and even hitting yourself and giving yourself harsh "pep talks"... and the scene where the teacher gives him an F. i genuinely teared up with bart. god i need to watch the simpsons.
Bart can help it you can tell he's really struggling. ADHD I like bart. He's one of my favorites. I feel bad because he's really trying but it's hard for him.
This brought me back to eighth grade, when I cried after being accused of plagiarism on a paper I worked hard on and was told that I needed to redo it. …while I was sitting in a math class I been long gave up on.
My math teacher doesn’t care about how much I get wrong and how much I get right on my homework. He just graded us and gives us 4/4 because he knows we tried and understood the concepts. He’s a very likable guy, and the best teacher at my school (Number 2 being the Engineering elective teacher)
not the best way to deal with kids having a hard time with math. if they’re having a hard time with it maybe at least just mark their answers wrong but give constructive criticism instead of going “hey y u do bad u should hab listened last meting!1!1!1!1”.
Missing this crucial component... Bart: Now I know how George Washington felt when he surrendered Fort Necessity to the French in 1754. Mrs. Krabappel: _[shocked]_ What? Bart: Oh, you know, 1754, the famous defeat to the French. _[Sobs]_ Mrs. Krabappel: _[Leafing through a book]_ My God, Bart, you're right! Bart: So? Mrs. Krabappel: You just demonstrated applied knowledge, and due to the difficulty and relative obscurity of the reference, you deserve an extra point on your exam.
I remeber 30 years ago, they didnt have classes where they could sent you to teachers that helped out students that required more help then others. Well they did but it was more like a study hall period that did not help at all.
watching this as i study for an exceptionally difficult exam that i spent days studying yet still don’t understand a single thing, and the fact that the professor is so hard doesn’t help, so maybe gonna fail as well.
VIEWERS OF CHILDREN STRONGLY ADVISED! The following scene takes place between Bart cries over a F exam to the teacher for kids, this scene may contain impact emotional which are not suitable in school to children, and may include depression, loss life, cheating and exposure.
Ngl I never knew I had a learning disability until I read every single teacher meetings paper I’ve had for school I always wondered why I struggled so much with math and staying awake for almost any class, why I received more attention than any other student around me, and why I just seem to get F's or C's in some classes even though I try my hardest I always hated how my parents think I’m lazy whenever I don’t want to be like that slapping scene from Bart I always try my hardest But once I learned all of that I just broke down in tears
It is the exact same feeling I had. It was mixed for grades because I got middling grades bar one or two subjects where I didn't care. But I also really struggled to socialise and explain myself and my meltdowns were seen as voluntary tantrums. My sensory needs were brushed aside and if I complained I was told to 'deal with it.' I still remember reading all my past school reports... nearly all of them the same. Bright but doesn't pay attention (I absolutely did pay attention, just I learnt in a different way) and struggles to make friends. I remember subject specific ones like with my RE teacher (religious education) whose class I wasn't doing well in. I think i told her once I was in a daydream during class. (Although, I'll admit it's because I HATED the building the class was in. I don't know how to explain. But it gave me an empty hollow head feeling. Not unwell just... didn't get good vibes. But I knew they wouldn't buy that as a valid reason. So my daydreaming was to try and imagine myself away) And in the report she told me to 'wake up and stop dreaming.' But yeah when I got my autism and dyslexia diagnosis during first year of uni. I read back over these and I really properly cried. It's heartbreaking looking back and feeling frustrated and sad that no teacher ever thought to look past what they assumed of you. To actually give you the benefit of the doubt. One or two teachers gave this to me and I always appreciated them. Sadly, they nearly were always teachers assistants or temporary.
Ours is the passing grade is C, and E is the worst grade 0-40 is E 41-60 is D 61-69 is C 70-79 is B 80-100 is A So even though you get a D, you still fail lol
I don’t think ANYBODY w/ ADHD ever PLANS on becoming an underachiever…☹️‼️‼️‼️ When ya get that “blah blah…blah blah blah blah” going through yer head, one could say it’s almost a genetic 🧬 thing…😯⚠️⚠️⚠️
Know how you feel kid. I’m applying for a guide dog and found out today baring in mind I’m in stage 2 I could still fail despite being told by guide dogs uk I’m very well and doing everything I can to succeed in getting one.
i can relate to this episode it was hard to watch every time bart slapped himself it reminded me of tracy freeland from the movie from thirteen ms krabapple didnt give a shit about bart he tried really hard i mean very hard
School should be abolished in favour of a system that teaches basic literacy and numeracy that onlys takes one year to complete. Then all the money saved on the public school system should be spent on free university education and apprenticeship training for those who want it.
Bart caused his own problems. Maybe if he actually applied himself and stop screwing around, he would actually get decent grades. He only passed due to the grace of his teacher, and tbh, he didn’t deserve to pass.

“A 59, it’s a high F”. That’s the most bittersweet thing I’ve ever heard lol
I went to public school just like Bart. There a 59 or lower was an F but my girlfriend went to Catholic school and there a 65 or lower was an F.
In Texas, a 69 or lower is an F.
In Malta, a 49 or lower can be an F, but 49 is a high D.
In Australia or at least my city they lowered some of the classes for a pass to be a 40 or above crazy
@@Redman_real I don't really think number percentages exists in school grades in Australia.
I’ve got classic Bart Simpson-style ADHD so this episode was a real gut-punch for me. I always tear up with him when he gets the F.
Poor Bart he tried his best to study but it is hard.

Couldn't have said it better! Also when he winces with every pen stroke
"Can't do it on purpose...but hey, maybe you'll get lucky!"
Well, at least he had the correct pirate name in his mind. He should get credit for that.
He never said dr livesey
He said Long John Silver in his head.. so close, Bart!

Omitted the part where Bart makes a reference of when he compares himself to Major George Washington lost Fort Necessity to the French in 1754.

I understand man. I too have ADHD and struggled a lot in school and college. But I was able to pull through and finish.
I made a song about ADD
I always pull this up just to watch Ms. Crabapple give him that extra point. This episode always makes me tear up

Here in the UK, 59% is a C.
39% or lower is a fail.
In the US, 70 or higher is passing
It depends on the grade boundaries which change yearly
Also different subjects have different grade boundaries
@@FigureFarter some people in the US a 60 or higher is passing (where I live in Ontario Canada a 50% or higher is a passing

You sure Bart doesn't have ADHD

This is how kids develop mentally damaging mindsets
Bro 59 is a C+ at my school
59 is a mid f at my school- anything below a 70 is a fail, basically it goes A (90+) B (80+) C [70+) NO D’S F(0-69]
I'm a Canadian so that's a D+ for me.
Why is a 59 a fail?!
Ours is the passing grade is C, and E is the worst grade
0-40 is E
41-60 is D
61-69 is C
70-79 is B
80-100 is A
So even though you get a D, you still fail lol
i wish i went to your school.
F ( 0 - 59 )
D (60 - 69 )
C (70 - 79 )
B (80 - 89 )
A (90 - 100)
Man, I want to go to your school!
