Abstract
It has become increasingly apparent to me, and perhaps to other pediatricians, that a new syndrome exists among adults who teach our school-aged children: Teaching Deficit Disorder, or TDD. I have observed that this diagnosis should be made on the teacher when the following classic signs and symptoms exist among one or more of his/her students: students who fidget in class constantly moving their fingers or legs, who do not pay attention, who frequently daydream, who do not complete their homework or classwork, and who frequently get out of their seats.
