I think the issue is that, back in the bad old days before medication, children who couldn't sit still and concentrate on school work -- i.e, high-energy, boisterous children not academically inclined, were whipped, beaten with rulers, set to work in factories. The energy was basically beaten out of them. Now we are more humane and have outlawed child labor, corporal punishment in schools and frown upon child abuse in the home. So we medicate these children instead.
