@calestous@RookieKE Do you think that encouraging the development of longer attention spans is important to education & learning? -
@PhyllisCopeland I disagree that the focus should only be long attention spans. There should be diversity is approaches.@RookieKE -
@calestous@RookieKE Do you think a long attention span isn't important or that the approach to developing it could be more effective? -
@PhyllisCopeland Long attention spans are important but not for everything. But they're treated as the only standard.@RookieKE -
@calestous@RookieKE And, if given the chance to be active, we see even "ADD" kids focusing longer & learning more :-) -
@PhyllisCopeland I draw a distinction between schooling and learning. Otherwise we end up killing creativity@RookieKE -
@calestous@RookieKE I agree :-) My background is in Montessori, we're huge proponents of giving kids the space to be creative

@PhyllisCopeland The Montessori system has some of the building blocks.@RookieKE - 3 more replies
