He has trouble staying focused. He leaks like a sieve.

♫♪ My momma talkin’ to me tryin’ to tell me how to live – But I don’t listen to her ’cause my head is like a sieve ♫♪

Feeling the strain.

Looks like a real scatter-brain.

The student in the back has a mind like a sieve.

He’s stressed because he can’t focus his attention.

How can funnels and colanders stay focused?

So, to stay focused you funnel alL your thinking ?

The Colander gets the big stuff.

It’s those little details that he just can’t seem to hold on to.

His excuse will have a lot of holes in it. It won’t hold water.

Yep. That was me in school; I even had the same expression most days

Easy for you to say!

The colander has ADHD.

At first, I thought those were golf tees, which to me made more sense than funnels?

This is truly draining

He is holding the big important stuff. The funnels let everything go in one side and out the other.

Is that what we’d call funnel vision?? :-)

The one in the second row seems to have strained himself.

They are straining their brains.

All of the extra-curricular classes were funneled into this one classroom.
