All points well noted :)

Perhaps we need 2 add "vital life skills" 2 education where there are no grades, however students get credit 4 participation

I recall reading that there are few schools in the US that added Meditation and Yoga to their curriculum to see benefits. Also read a few schools are replacing detention with Meditation

I suppose School Boards who truly care about their students will add value to their lives, and as for the rest ... well, ur #1 reason above says it all :D

Btw, thanks again for mentioning Ānāpānasati Meditation - will definitely learn about it - I do my own breathing meditation, however open 2 learning other effective techniques ... perhaps you can write a steemit post on how to do Ānāpānasati?? :)
