  1. This man speaks a load of sense, when I was at school I was not academic at all and couldn't wait to get a job at 15 and do some real work that I enjoyed. I went on to take many exams and qualifications after school because I wanted to do them. Thank god woke had not been invented in those days, you just had to get off your backside and work harder.

  2. Kids these days have so many problems and issues these day…. I work in a primary school and due to cut backs over the last decade we have 20% of children who shouldn't be in mainstream school, their parents also have many issues including drugs, mental health and yes sex offenders! This Tory government has caused so much poverty that it hasn't only just caused problems with today's children it has caused the same problems with the last generation!

  3. This talking head guest seems quite uneducated on the topic of mindfulness. Beyond all the new-age quackery, it's basically the inverse of scrolling through your Twitter feed getting distracted by a new idea ever 3 seconds. If you train your brain to be easily distracted, the theory goes, you might be able to train it to be less distractable.

    Studies have proven it can be effective even in USMC combat operations. Marines who were trained on mindfulness exercises reported experience combat situations as less chaotic (Jha et al., 2010 or so). The science, if handled correctly, is legitimate. Selling the science as a snake-oil product is the true problem here.

  4. Where I worked they did “ mindfulness” sessions during lunch times, It was voluntary , All it did was send me to sleep for the afternoon , I wouldn’t recommend it for children

  5. Mindfulness can be an amazing tool.in your resilience tool box. Sadly the person or people running the course that the guest went on did not explain the science behind the act of slowing down and stepping out of automatic pilot.
    Of course kids are going to find it "boring"! They aren't used to being with their direct experience. They are reliant on technology and distractions and don't have the tools to deal with difficult , uncomfortable emotiins.
