What do we want school to be for kids? Do we need to start asking different questions when it comes to the kind of education that is best for kids at this time? Watch this video by Sir Ken Robinson, international leader in education, to explore a different perspective on school.
Note: There is reference in here to ADHD being overdiagnosed. I think his point is to say that often times in school, more is demanded of students, and they then cannot move as much as they need to because there is not time in the school day, resulting in more fidgety kids. I know many kids who truly have ADHD, and I do not want to minimize that for families - at all. What he says in this video is thought-provoking and can start some positive conversations.
