Right as I was entering 5th grade, they eliminated 1/3 of outdoor recess to "prepare us better" for middle school. I was upset about that. Also the school sent me to phycologists and wanted me medicated because I used to daydream and look out of the window, or I wanted to draw. Elementary school was the most unhappy time of my childhood and that's absolutely fucked up.
ADHD aka too much screen time.
Schools doubled recess time and cured ADHD.
Burn off the energy.
Kids don't want to sit in one place for eight hours.

I used to daydream too. People were concerned. I was a kid! Let kids be kids! I wasn't drugged though, I grew up in an earlier time.
Not enough dad time.
