ADD and learning in high school

Being diagnosed with ADD has it setbacks. Especially during my high school years. The main problem was that it was so hard to pay attention. Those long lectures that involve a lot of listening tend to drone out very fast. In my experience I can say that there wasn't enough practical/hands-on work. It is so much easier to focus and learn something when interacting with it. Sure you can learn something like to ride a car in a book. But it comes to you a lot faster and more efficient with an approach that's more practical and gets the person motivated. When you're sitting down and reading a bunch of information motivation is hard to find. Getting on your feet and exploring should be used just as much or more when it comes to learning.
