Coworker had a meeting with his son's teacher where they urged him to put the boy on ADHD medication. Out of curiosity, he dropped in the classroom one day and noted every boy but his own was acting very mellow. Turns out almost every one in the class but his kid was on meds.

I was very opposed to medicating my son for normal little boy behavior. The next year I asked for the most structured classroom possible, and the
#oldschool teacher he had never had a problem with his behavior.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
It's easier to drug all the boys, I guess, than it is to change classroom management, train teachers to have actual discipline, and add more play time. I'd would have loved to have had an all-boy school option with all male teachers too.

Schools are very unnatural environments - age segregated, run almost exclusively (at least at the elementary level) by women, and forced to teach "universal" curricula. This is not how humans are built to interact and boys especially.
