[ I would have liked to qoute almost all postings above :-) ...]
There is one fact about Ritalin (and related drugs ) that people are missing. These drugs have opposite affects on persons that are not ADD (ADHD). So if "Johnny" is just bored at school but not ADD then I feel sorry for everybody, Johnny, his parents and his teachers because he will be hyperactive while the drug is working.
Therefore there are few if any cases where children are prescribed Ritalin that don't need it. The problem is dosage and sideaffects.
Yours
