... because 80 percent of teachers are boring.

The teachers in the 50's were certainly boring by today's standards. No one expected to be entertained in school. We sat in our seats in classes of over 50. I am not saying that we should go back to that. We couldn't even if we wanted to.

Maybe physical activity is the big difference. We walked to school, sat for 2 hours, ran around on a blacktop (no playground equipment), sat for 2 more hours, ate lunch and then ran around again, sat again and then walked home. No one just sat all day, first in a car and then in a classroom.
