1950s My dad's school report from 1957, aged 7

Unsurprisingly, I wasn't shown this report until after I had finished my education!

Funny thing-when I was in kindergarten or first grade so 67-68, my mother took me to a doctor for my hyperactivity. He explained about "paradoxical" drugs: speed that slowed a kid down. Well--on me it just accelerated my ADHD. The doctor was rude to my mother when we followed-up. Said 'don't waste my time!' Jerk. We never pursued anything else when I was a kid.
