@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 -
@PhyllisCopeland I think creativity favors short attention spans with the potential for aggregation. Discovery is different@RookieKE -
@calestous@RookieKE Sometimes. When I'm inspired creatively, I can spend whole days tirelessly immersed in a project, but that's art. :-) -
@PhyllisCopeland@calestous I am glad I retweeted the Prof. Such an educative discussion came out of this. Thanks guys
