<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Friends:<br><br></div>As we often focus on keeping students almost immobile during the course of the day, we might be reminded that the <i><b>active </b></i>student very well could be a better learner. That's the gist of a new article in the New York Times:<br><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/21/well/family/why-kids-shouldnt-sit-still-in-class.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/21/well/family/why-kids-shouldnt-sit-still-in-class.html</a><br><br></div>We adults forget that for most young people, "squirming" through the day can tap off excess energy and help the student achieve better results in the classroom.<br><br></div>Sincerely,<br></div>Nancy Jamison<br></div>
