I know I think a lot more clearly when I take breaks to do creative things. It took me a long time to figure this out on my own, as it wasn't something that was encouraged in school. I just kept grinding through more and more work and burning myself out more and more, and I think this is what's happening to a lot of kids now, too. Maybe that is even where some of the rage and acting out incidents of recent years are coming from. Just a thought.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133547765222326544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130513570901109857.post-73816780101618601702008-03-18T12:47:00.000-05:002008-03-18T12:47:00.000-05:00I so agree with you!

More educators have to realize the value of the wholistic mind and how 'creatives' and multi-taskers will be valued in an outsourced country in the future!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130513570901109857.post-88016294547341975532008-03-18T09:47:00.000-05:002008-03-18T09:47:00.000-05:00I read a great analogy about this on another blog ...I read a great analogy about this on another blog a while ago and I thought it really brought the point home to those of us who are not teachers.<BR/><BR/>http://hannahandlily.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-it-really-is.htmlNatCrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844261637869398330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130513570901109857.post-29356190083147203032008-03-17T20:56:00.000-05:002008-03-17T20:56:00.000-05:00I completely agree with you, that the testing has ...I completely agree with you, that the testing has sucked the enjoyment out of the educational process.<BR/><BR/>I am a huge proponent of reading, but not for standardized tests reasons... reading, like art and music and drama, inspires creative learning. I am sorry you had to cancel practice - seems to me the kids would remember the test studies better if they could stretch the creative side of their brain between the tests.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681219110948898838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130513570901109857.post-49180011112419807812008-03-17T14:19:00.000-05:002008-03-17T14:19:00.000-05:00So true!So true!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335465248417587444noreply@blogger.com
