Meditate at school?

Watch this video which reports on a school where students are given time to mediate.
  • Would you like to be given time to meditate in class? If you would, how do you think it would help you? If you wouldn't, why not?
  • Look at 1 or 2 of the other sections of the David Lynch Foundation web site, what do you think are its aims?
  • What do you know about the film maker David Lynch? If you don't know anything do a search on him. Have you seen any of his films or TV programmes? Did you like them?
Write a comment or a posting answering the questions.

~It Would be great to have time to meditate because we could think about school and outside's things and relax and take out our stress.

~I think what they try to show us that students have to have a Consciousness-Based
education, so as to relax an get more inormation and be more happy and concentred in the lessons.

~David Lynch is an american, he is an artist. He has done lots of films, not as an actor, not as a director but yes as musician or photographer.

-I don't really think that meditation would be better for students to get higher marks. I think it could help students to concentrate better, but not to help getting higher marks.

-Relax and happyness I think are twoo facts that they want to show us that are important.

-David Lynch was born in Montana, the 20th of January of 1946. he`s a film director. But he also works as an artist or as a photographer.

-I think meditating at school is a very good idea. At first I will like to say that personally, I love all the things related with relax and meditation so I would obviously like to be given time to meditate at school. It would help us not to have stress and forget the problems. However, I don’t think it will help us to have good marks.
-They want to show us that we will reduce stress and we will have better marks(I don’t thinks so). I have read in David Lynch Foundation web that he thinks that meditation will help us to develop the full creative potential of the brain and mind, improving health and improving academic outcomes.
-I don’t know him and I have never seen any of his films or TV programmes but I have read some information about him on wikipedia and I can say that he was born in Montana the 20th of January of 1946.He seems to be a very intelligent man who has a personal style, not only as a director but also as a painter and photographer.

In conclusion I can say that I hope my school will have the idea of meditate twice a week for ten minutes as soon as possible.

-I think it´s a good idea to have time to meditate at school. We spend most of the day at school and a little time could help us to relax a bit, but not to get higher marks.
-Concentration and relax I think are facts they want to see us that are importatnt, and show us how to be less stressed too.
-I haven´t seen any of his films, and i don´t know anything about him, but i have searched andknow i know he was born in Montana in 1946 and that he has done lots of films. he also works as photographer or musician.

I think that it´s so good having time to meditate because it makes you feel more relaxed and that´s very important specially when we are at school.
When people are relaxed, they are happier so their behaviour is better.
I also think that it would help people to concentrate.
