Finnish Students are TOP in the world for Brain Breaks, Recess, Happiness, and Success! I ask a group of Finnish teachers, Pasi Sahlberg, and Finnish school administrators, “how do your students do so well on the
Pisa Test, when primary students go to school half days, and they spend what seems like
most of their day at recess or playing? The simple and short answer was,
“Students get more done during the academic time because they are energized,
engaged, motivated, and excited to be at school learning. WOW, I was struck at
the mindfulness and the wisdom of the answer. We send our children to what is
essentially NCLB test prep academies, and take out and or reduce enrichment
when students are at risk, and replace it with intensive TEST prep disguised as
scientifically researched quality curriculum.
We do anything and everything in my class and call them Brain Breaks.
