Sitting Still

Motion is normal " independent study time " is code for child storage. You see it is much cheaper to force a child to sit still than it is to educate them. This is a painful experience that has little purpose or benefit for the child. If I am really studding I walk around, talk to friends grab a snack scroll through Facebook and get comfortable. I can't fully focus unless everything is just right, sure I get distracted but the computer waits for me and helps me. I can stimy out some very difficult math problems and choose the right answer out of a group of 4, but it hurts not to move and it is stressful to be forced to put aside my basic needs, just to make things easier for a teacher who lacks my imagination.
