If you have a son, you have a one-in-seven chance that he has been diagnosed with ADHD. If you have a son who has been diagnosed, it's more than likely that he has been prescribed a stimulant—the most famous brand names are Ritalin and Adderall; newer ones include Vyvanse and Concerta—to deal with the symptoms of that psychiatric condition.
The Drug Enforcement Administration classifies stimulants as Schedule II drugs, defined as having a "high potential for abuse" and "with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence." (According to a University of Michigan study, Adderall is the most abused brand-name drug among high school seniors.) In addition to stimulants like Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, and Concerta, Schedule II drugs include cocaine, methamphetamine, Demerol, and OxyContin.
My youngest could easily be put in this category,... thankfully he has learned to still sit long enough to endure the classroom setting - most of the time. Even if he would have ever been diagnosed - there's no way I would put those drugs in him, just because...
... a doctor examined him for twelve minutes, looked at a questionnaire on which you had checked some boxes, listened to your brief and vague report that he seemed to have trouble sitting still in kindergarten, made a diagnosis for a disorder the boy doesn't have, and wrote a prescription for a powerful drug he doesn't need.
After you read that, try reading "The War Against Boys" by Christina Hoff Summers. Still, I'm glad I had three sons, they're great kids (despite who their parents are).
All the mass shootings that have occurred in the USA, since and including Columbine, the boys were, or had previously been on Riddlen, or some form of ADHD / ADD drugs.

The school nurse has a big supply and you will never be told.

My youngest would tell me. He has JRA and uvitis that we have been treating for about seven years. We need to know everything that happens. Plus he just talks a lot.

An ADHD child shows difference in brain activity on a pet scan than a normal child. For those few who are truly ADHD, the medication allows them to be normal. With holding it because you don't FEEL it's right, can cause more damage than providing it to the child.
BTW, MY kids who were both ADHD were diagnosed by a neuropsychologist, not some doctor and a questionnaire.

Sure thing. School nurses are drugging children without their parents' knowledge or consent.
