Why so many kids can’t sit still in school today [feedly]

[John Gear]

School as pre-prison, start damaging them early, and keep it up throughout K-12.

In the name of helping them be "competitive" in the global economy.

We need to apply the same tests to school that we do to any other form of experimentation or drug treatment for children: show us the evidence (not the assumption) that what you do and how you do what you propose to do is in the child's best interests.
