We US adults seem really clueless about kids' need for unstructured time. I clearly remember feeling better after (therefore learning better) after my 2-3 play times. Lunch/play was 75 min, recess was 15 and there was playground time while the buses rolled in.
My grade school kids (mid90s-early10s) had maybe 20min of play after eating and no recess. After school time was was more of the same - because they had >5x (actual) the homework that I did.
It's a high resource approach to learning; in hindsight, I find no benefit in it. It may be one of the reasons they're disinterested in having their own kids.

- JackMorgan 3y agoI'm currently taking class for the EMT, and it is _brutal_ to sit through lectures for just 4 hours. That's even with a 10 minute break every hour. For a subject I'm intensely interested in. Lectures are scientifically proven by educators to be the worst method of learning, yet our schools do it anyway. I'd honestly assume conspiracy if all the teachers I know didn't just shrug and say "who cares, it's what everyone expects, and it's easy, so..."

FF to today and it's Little Pharma that saves my bacon. Big LEO, on the other hand, is working overtime to ruin that. You can measure a DEA success by how many thousands of lives are degraded and ruined thru their pointless overreach.
