I just got back from a distinguished lecture on campus. The author of “The Trouble With Boys: A Surprising Report Card on Our Sons, Their Problems at School and What Parents & Educators Must Do,” came and spoke about why boys seem to be struggling in the classroom.One point she touched on was that children NEED to have recess. Little kids do not have long attention spans and we need to keep them active. It was a very interesting lecture that really made me think.
Mom, I think you should really look into this book. All of you AEA folk would love it.
Thank you Northwest for bringing in yet another amazing speaker to campus!
