Interesting read about how flute music calmed students....

"Chesmu spoke of how the introduction of the Northern Spirit Flute
helped two grade eight students with a violent history connect to the school in such a
positive way that they became trusted student helpers within the same year."

I thought this article really made me believe that there are better, more educated ways to teach students than pushing pencil and paper. Have we reached the age where students are not learning in the more conventional methods than before? What is important to them? What is important to their parents?
