In the ‘50s the nuns in charge of 45+ size class rooms in my grammer school had no problems controlling fidgety brats.

Perhaps the threat of physical pain hastens maturity?

LOL! That’s the truth! Several of my friends went to the local Catholic school. Believe me, no one I knew had ADD. I never misbehaved in school. Most of my teachers were friends with my parents and/or were members of our church, or were in my mom’s clubs. I knew I would get “told on” in a heartbeat. My parents were firm believers in following up with punishment at home whether it was talking out of turn in class or a bad grade.

Corolary to what I wrote above--fear of punishment is the ONLY thing that will get a 6 year-old to sit still for any length of time.
