I remember as a college student studying education, I had a class that was several hours long. I vividly remember one day, becoming so restless and desperate to move that I literally wanted to bang my head against the table, or get up and run around the room. It was definitely an a-ha! moment! From the article: All people in decision-making positions for school policies should be required to sit through at least one school day and experience first-hand what is required of children today. Then they will have a better idea of what is appropriate and what isn’t. Then they will start to think about what their decisions mean for real children in real schools. Maybe then, they will begin to value children’s need to move, need to play, and the need to be respected as the human beings that they are. Amen!
