Boys at a boarding school are to be given weekly meditation and stress relief classes.
The eight-week “mindfulness” course, for 14- and 15-year-olds at Tonbridge School in Kent, is designed by psychologists from Oxford and Cambridge to develop skills in concentration and combat anxiety.
Richard Burnett, a teacher and housemaster at Tonbridge who is leading the course, said: “One of the things about schools is that silence is associated with power - the teacher tells the pupils to be quiet. What you need to do is convey the idea that silence is a positive activity to be savoured and enjoyed.”

Great effort to bring the younger generations close to now-ness :), they should extend that to the whole of GB, and the rest of the world for that matter.
btw: do you have two parallel blogs? do you use one more often than the other?
best,
