Good point. Since when is it "natural" to force 10 year old boys to sit in rows of desks for six hours a day, divided into arbitrary 45-minute learning segments?

What's your way of handling this? I'm trying to find the right balance with my nine year old as we move into tougher material. It was easier to take a million short breaks when he was doing little kid stuff.
