so nowadays it serves no purpose. it has become nothing more than a poor excuse of why someones child is not doing well in school.

Hahaha I like that theory!
I'm don't believe ADD is a disease in the milder cases (I am a mild case!),
maybe It's more like a personality trait - like you said, that would have aided in survival in ancient times but today is counter productive.
But then there's the people who have it severely....
in that case, it is a disorder
