What they are are BOYS. That means they have tons of energy and need to run around and play. Boys were not meant to sit still in a classroom all day. Girls can handle that with no problem. Boys not so much. The current feminized education system is not set up for boys to excel. Getting rid of PE which a lot of schools have done, harms boys vastly more than it does girls.
What you said...so true.
My youngest son, at age 8-9, was blessed with so much energy and mental awareness...he is still like that at age 37.
Yet, his teachers at age 8 would not allow him back into class until he was "seen" by a doctor, who of course rendered the ADHD diagnosis and put him on ritalin, for about a year until I threatened to sue the doctor and the teachers for malpractice.
They backed off.
Today, my son remains as brilliant as ever; he proudly owns two crossfit gyms and successfully competes on world stages and wins gold medals. He has a wonderful/beautiful wife and a 2 year old son...who is exactly like him.
God is good....
