WORLD OF LEARNING: HAPPINESS AND PARADIGMS

"When the Mind Wanders, Happiness Also Strays" New York Times 11/15/10
"RSA Animate: Changing Education Paradigms" Ken Robinson/YouTube 10/14/2010

These two certainly fit well together. One of our ablest science writers, John Tierney, makes a case for distraction as a cause of unhappiness, and the words of Ken Robinson, one of our strongest proponents for the arts in education, are cleverly illustrated in a marvelous little video that gets at why our children might be distracted.
