- wheelerof4te 3y agoThat heavily depends on the context. Is your child having difficulty staying alert in the classroom? Then the answer is yes. Are you having difficulty understanding a bestseller book? No worries there, just watch a movie or something.
- dubcanada 3y agoDo you think children should be in a classroom? I tend to believe that children should be outside personally, with very little indoor activity. Even if it's snowing. I learned way more by doing my own thing, what ever that is, then I ever did stuck inside of a class room having a teacher read word for word from a textbook. I think there are varieties in the aspect of learning to be considered, some don't learn the same way of others. And that should be considered as well. But generally I don't think attention spans have anything to do with classroom. People were not paying attention in classrooms WAY before cell phones were invented. The problem is the "room" part of a classroom in my opinion. Reading I do agree with though.
- wheelerof4te 3y ago"I learned way more by doing my own thing, what ever that is, then I ever did stuck inside of a class room having a teacher read word for word from a textbook." And I learned a lot more by reading stuff from Wikipedia on my own pace than I learned reading textbooks. So, good point.
- fredoliveira 3y agoMost people require focus to come up with better ideas, so even in that narrow sense, I would argue that it matters a whole lot.
