Usually I've seen them slap the ADHD label on kids when the kids have a lot of energy, which is normal for kids to have. I remember bouncing off the walls too but thankfully my parents were normal and didn't have me sent in for testing. As I got older I was able to focus more on studies. It was all about disciplining myself and I've grown a lot in that aspect.

But wow, recess for 4 MINUTES?? Good lord that has GOT to be illegal! I remember getting 2 recesses from kindergarten through 3rd grade, then just 1 for 4th through 6th, but still they gave us a good 40 minutes for the one after lunch, and the morning recess for the little kids was only 25 minutes but every bit helped! And then we had gym every day, so we had LOTS of play time. Kids obviously can't play ALL the school time away, there has to be some actual reading and writing and math lessons to teach them the importance of learning, but still, without play time their minds get foggy with boredom and the lessons won't stick.
