ADHD peeps from older generations typically were not diagnosed at all, so they were just classified as lazy, and some parents tried to "fix" this laziness with some pretty heavy handed methods if you know what I mean.
There's plenty of ADHD people who excel in school actually. It can go either way. Often it depends on how much luck you have with your teachers. If they happen to have a compatible type to ADHD children, or are ND themselves, it tends to go massively better. My child went from failing school to excelling, by just a change of school and teachers.
My grades were pretty much dependent on how much homework and long term projects were worth cause I almost never did either. Test grades were usually good though
