I grew up in rural Nebraska, in an area that was very resistant to the drug pushers. In grade school, I was a wiggle worm and couldn’t sit still.
My kindergarten teacher would have me run laps around the school to “burn it off”. No matter what the weather. It worked. Today I would have been drugged to the gills and labeled a “special” case.
I agree - I was fortunate to be able to get my idiosyncrasies under control. I know too many folks who have children that the schools insisted needed to be medicated and where the schools turned out to be wrong. They use the medication of kids as a convenience and believe that they also have a broader and more nefarious plan as far as control goes.
