[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just watched a video recently that a mindfulness program in Baltimore schools helped kids and improved attendance.

Mindfulness is not the same as rumination. Introspection is not bad, in fact it's probably good. If you were in denial of your issues, then took a mindfulness class and became aware of anxiety and depression, that's the first step in solving the problem. You don't just conclude mindfulness is bad because you became aware of your feelings. Some people like to be busy and not be aware of any of their feelings. Some also like to drink alcohol to escape their feelings. Different strokes for different folks.[/quote]

that's a bit different to what our HS is doing.   If they did yoga and worked on spirituality that would be good, but the way I see it being implemented, it's just "let's talk about our feelings" in a classroom setting. No teen is going to talk about their feelings in a classroom full of their peers.

I seriously think these school admins do not understand teens.[/quote]
