I somewhat agree with whatever you have said. > That's what schools needed to inculcate in the 19th century, and it's still what's needed of them; it's just that now we need them to teach additional skills. This really ignores the medical advancement of understanding of human bodies and nature as well as the advancement in the type of work. No one advocates for physically abusing the kids to instill manners in current times and it's backed by research to be ineffective long term and not sustainable. We know more about what influences obesity rates and bodily pain issues. We know sitting on your desk for long periods isn't good. Most people in developed countries and emerging developing countries are increasingly not doing any physically repetitive tasks. Those are automated and for a good reason, eg - RSI. School architecture needs complete reform. Teaching guidelines significant changes. It may not be for making kids more creative but incorporating what we already have in our daily life outside of school. Eg - I don't sit on my computer desk continuously for longer than 45 mins without taking a small walk.
