Tell me, truly, when you're sitting in a three hour mandatory training session on the company handbook, not once might you become...bored?[/quote]

While there are clearly things I'd rather be doing, I can certainly find things to do meanwhile.  For example, have you never made up stories in your head about people you meet?  Admittedly, this might not be appropriate if you know all the people, but in restaurants it can be great fun.

You can count the number of times the presenter repeats himself.  The dumb questions people ask, etc.  You can even listen and keep a tally of the things you learn.  And, you might even listen to see if there is something new to learn.

Or, you could take notes and make suggestions about how it could be better presented.  Now, that would be a novel idea.

However, it is highly unlikely that your child is sitting through a three hour "training session."  More like, five minutes here and there when he might be a little bored-or have to wait.  That is not a bad thing to learn.  Patience is a virtue.  It is highly unlikely that the teacher is making him do boring things for three hours.

Remind me again why you're making up stories and counting...is it because you're bored?

Not being bored does not equal not being able to come up with things to occupy your time! They are not equivalent. And no, I'm not equating K to a three hour training session on company policies. That was an ADULT ATTENTION LEVEL EQUIVALENT so you could, you know, try to imagine yourself in a situation that is intellectually non-stimulating, with the expectation that you sit there and pay attention throughout.
