Caulfield: Maybe this will explain it: When I'm on vacation and i'm bored, I end up in the library. When I'm in school and I'm bored, I end up in hot water. Learning isn't my problem. Frazz: sitting still is your deal, an i'm not sure it's a problem.

I read somewhere that kids naturally need to move; it’s part of their physical growth process. I constantly figeted in those uncomfortable desks; I just couldn’t sit still.

People should be ashamed to admit to being bored. It means there’s not enough going on in their heads.

“Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.” —Terry Pratchett.Boredom is something of an accomplishment, when you think of it that way.

I completely understand caulfield’s issue. It’s one thing to go to the library and look up something interesting. It’ another to learn boring things in a boring classroom, where you finish the work in five minutes and then have to wait an hour for everyone else to fiish

“Clay lies still, but blood’s a rover…” anybody remember that?I call myself a ‘peripatetic philosopher’ when you know me well. Sometimes I make a mantra out of good thinking questions…like, “Who what when where how and why, details details details?” Good for driving, much sharper later on. Ask better questions, get better answers. And better government, too.

@SharuniboyZ: There is a REASON that the military is a conformist organization. It has to be that way or it does not work well on the battleline.The same can NOT be said for most other institutions, including schools.

In the local public charter school for gifted children, they sit on bouncy balls because so few of them can keep still.
