True story: I was medicated in the 3rd grade for being hyperactive. (It didn't help, of course, speed only helps actual hyperactive kids, and I wasn't one.) In the fourth grade, Lucille Davis -- I hope hope hope heaven is everything it's cracked up to be -- said, "Take him off the meds. He's not hyperactive, he's bored. I send him to the school library for five hours a day, and he never gets in trouble there."
Not every noisy problematic child is ill.
@GeePawHill My grade school librarian, bless her, stopped me one day and said, "I know you've read everything here. Take this note to the junior high librarian up the hill and she'll let you start checking out books there." #librarians
