[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish they would put more yoga, art and physical education into their daily routine and/or discipline measures. Meditation, exercise and creative outlets might be more effective than suspension, detention or letting things slide.[/quote]

No, this isn't how it works.  You don't "drop in" wellness techniques.  You reinvent schools.

Kids should be learning social skills in the early years, not academics.  They're obese and ill (think diabetes), yet we shave away recess and provide crappy food in the cafeteria. They should be outdoors, applying classroom skills to real-life through place-based educational practices.

secondary school?  Stop with the damn tests. Kids should ENJOY reading and writing, and through reading-writing workshop, they'll learn the types of writing by interacting with fictional and informative texts they like.

Nothing is organic in the system.

You can't stress out a kid by over-testing them and then expect 20 minutes of yoga to help.

It's all a** backward.[/quote]
