My wife is a substitute teacher and sees this quite frequently. Do the kids actually outgrow the condition?
On a somewhat serious question, are we replacing parental discipline with drugs?

Let's separate your statements. Wife sees what frequently, parents that are not willing to "keep up with the kid" or ADD?
Exaggeration? I wonder if that's a medical term. Sure, there are degrees to all mental problems. But what is an exaggeration of a diagnosis?
To me an exaggeration would be when a diagnosis comes with the statement that if something is not done, the child will never perform to a degree of acceptance.
