Intresting study on the effects of Nature on learning

Post by Tenfoureightytwo »

Really interesting study that shows the positive effects of natural environments on children and their response to learning.

A clearance in a wooded area, you startle a deer, it runs into the pines. Vast turquoise lakes and icy rivers, crisp mountain air. A bald eagle soars above. The distant sound of a chainsaw. Redwood smoke

Yeah my old elementary school had this pod system to the classrooms where 4 classes of 30 kids were back to back in the same huge room-kind of like a cross. And the whole building was painted a very drab grey, with no windows to speak of
