Happy "boring" summer?

Recently, due to the ubiquitous use of technology and its distracting nature, scientists are debating the importance of boredom. Some neuroscientists, including Susan Greenfield, argue that so-called boredom provides time for students, all of us really, to figure out who we are and what we believe. That seems pretty important, doesn't it? Teachers especially need some of this personal down time. Therefore, we hope you and yours enjoy a little bored time this summer. We think cartoonist Grant Snider would agree.
A happy summer to all!
