There is a Ted talk that goes over why Doodling should actually be encouraged: http://www.ted.com/talks/sunni_brown.html http://www.ted.com/talks/sunni_brown.ht

  Awesome talk. I'm guity of being caught doodling in class. As early as first grade. I still remember one particular day long ago where a teacher noticed me doodling during class. The lecture halted. My notes were confiscated. Then torn up and tossed into the trash. I was horrified. And yet, to this day, I've never stopped doodling. It's quite soothing. Some of my best works of art started as "just a doodle."

    That just made me remember that I used to draw during class often. Over time, teachers forced me to stop. Looking back on school, I started out as a well-behaved, good student, and finished as disinterested, depressed, and moderately disruptive. I wonder if there was a connection.
