In schools today, the short attention span of pupils together with a lack of boundaries make for a lethal combination in any kind of learning environment. What can be done about this? This book proposes, on the one hand, taking another look at excessive permissiveness, explaining where it originates and why it is so entrenched in our society, and on the other, introducing a counterbalance to the newest generations of students’ lack of continuous attention and concentration in the classroom, which seriously hinders their academic and personal development.
