Girls perform better academically in almost all countries (2015)

Stimulants also work very well on people without ADHD, so why not give them to everyone!?

It seems crazy that we've made it this far as a species without medication; so why should it be required now? Maybe the issue isn't the children, but the environment they are in?

Because 50 years ago:

- teachers had a lot more options when it came to disciplining kids

- many left school for work at age 15 - 16

Do you want the good old times back?

(Another thing is many countries have changed the curriculum to be even more heavy on theory than it used to be. That I would like to change, both for the kids and for future employers: broad practical experience probably increases someones chances in engineering and probably other disciplines as well.)
