Ours are mostly not like that. There is a word wall, a alphabet freize and the kids artwork and writing.

I do often wonder though if the increase in ADHD was caused by shared tables, group work and a less structured routine. When we were kids we sat in individual desks in a quiet classroom. The order of subjects was the same each day (great for people with transition issues or anxiety (me)). My son sits in a group and does maths in a group and the timetable makes no sense at all. Also we kept out stuff in our desks, my son keeps his in a tray in a rack with everyone else so every time they change task everone has to wander round getting stuff. My son is not ADHD but he is PG and quite happy to avoid certain tasks.
