Some children don't just have trouble with sitting at a desk at a 7-hour school day. When your imagine children with ADD/ADHD that's probably what you think because it makes sense that inattention or hyperactivity is most correlated with the times where that would be most detrimental. But most of these children have just as much trouble with a whole day of regular indoor/outdoor play too. Edit: As a parent of special needs child who recently started non-stimulant ADD medication to great success -- I really wish my reply wasn't downvoted. The amount of misinformation in this topic is staggering and frankly a little depressing. I think I'd go crazy arguing against every post talking about boring school work so I'm not going to do that. Many problems are far deeper than this straw man.
