Tu, Feb 19, 2008Quiet here
;newWindow.focus())
Its always too quiet here, after the holidays. I guess the updates aren't a priority, there's just too much to do in the real world, or perhaps it's post holiday blues?However, during holidays, I do notice several new members on some school sites and traffic is still relatively high. I guess, children are missing their mates at school? Missing the place itself, perhaps even the teachers.
I think I'm going to investigate this more. Somehow. Perhaps during the next Easter holidays, if I can get the schools here to post an item, asking for children, if they're bored, to begin posting in the school's discussion group. Perhaps the schools could promote this part of the site more, in school.
Hmmm... I'll formulate this a little more, then go ask my schools what they think.
Be happy
Teaching happiness: the classes in wellbeing that are helping our children: "...Wellbeing classes are an important part of moving British education beyond its "toxic obsession" with exams and tests, towards a more holistic idea of education that gives young people the cognitive skills they need to cope with the ups and downs that they will inevitably face in life."
Martin Seligman, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania says: "There's too much emphasis on happiness, I think. I'm interested in the meaningful or virtuous life, what the Greeks called eudaimonia.""
Last September, Ed Balls, the schools secretary, introduced a new voluntary subject in secondary education, called Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL), which would be a component in the statutory subject Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)

It seems a little weird that the UK government is getting involved in SEAL a component in PGSC, getting into children's minds. But, religion does this too.
