Thank you @pernille.bsky.social for addressing the epidemic of humans (not just students) who are over-stimulated. I have been actively working on counteracting this in my own life. Bring back the boredom!

We are allergic to boredom. Our students are too. But what if boredom is exactly what they need? This year I have been trying to bore my students on purpose. Here is what that looks like.
I have been thinking a lot about boredom. And how so many of us, yes, myself included, seem to be almost allergic to it. I am not aware of this obviously when I search for constant stimulus, but my brain is. It shows up in the exhaustion I feel at the end of the day, in the way I can't quite remember the details of my life like I used to.
