No.

Rowdy, inquisitive, can't sit still.
These are all traits that for the most part -- make one a good person later in life. Now most teachers just can't deal with them and label them as "toxic" that requires medication.

- shaftway 6y agoThere's dealing with the nature of boys, and then there's dealing with ADHD. Our son was diagnosed and our final trigger before looking for a diagnosis was a day where he was sent to the principal's office twice. Once for pretending he was a motorcycle and running into other kids, and once for biting another kid. His teachers were aware that he was likely ADHD and were extremely tolerant of his behavior. His teacher said that he ran into people while he was a motorcycle, because that's just a thing that motorcycles do. The biting was a little more convoluted, but his logic was that it was ok because he told the other kid that he could bite him back. The way our therapist put it was that as people age they can self-regulate better. We're using the medication to keep him alive (without it he's impulsive to the point that he'd run out into busy traffic to chase something shiny) until he develops better self-regulation.
