Kids were exactly the same when I was in school in the 1960’s. But the teacher had something that made us focus and sit. It wasn’t a drug. It was just a stick of wood. Usually it had printed on it, “The Board Of Education.” Frequently, it had holes which whistled...I still remember the tune.
When I was in school, we had large classes (at least 40) and several recesses per day. There was morning recess where we played organized games. Then there was lunch recess where we spent part of the time eating (or going home for lunch) and the remainder of the time playing games which we organized ourselves witha teacher watching so we didn’t kill each other. Then there was afternoon recess.
Nobody got out of line in, or out, of class. There was a little boy/girl teasing, but that was it.
My parents although not Dr s cured that problem in their three children.

I was going to say the same thing. In the 60s you sat still and didn’t talk, or else and that seemed to do the trick.
Me too. And thank God for that.
Did you have recess when you were in school? Kids need recess, especially active boys. Today the punishment for not sitting still is denial of recess.
These are “educational professionals” doing this.
