I look at the problem of kids not paying attention from another perspective. It is very difficult to grab kids attention these days for any length of time. Teachers for example are competing with Big Bird on Sesame Street and Arnold Schwartzneger in his Terminator role, not to mention the miriad of video crap that is thrown their way. Ever see a classroom or a textbook these days? It's gotta be loaded with a ton of visual, mind-expanding pictures and graphics just to attract the kid to maybe do a bit of reading. Kids would laugh at our first video games like Pac Man or TV Tennis. After spending my working days in a classroom as a teacher, I've seen the changes over the last 35 years and it's not a pretty sight in my opinion.
