I enjoyed watching this with my son.

                        While I was coaching one of my students, I often felt very frustrated at the amount of homework that all of his teachers placed on him during his freshmen year.  I was doubtful whether they were clear on what outcome they wanted for their students. 

            In this video, Carl Honore talks about the advantage of slowing down our lives.  I think we are all susceptible to moving too fast, taking on too much and missing out on what may be truly important in our lives. 

Perhaps we can apply this knowledge and aid our students to be their best.
