Do better academically, are calmer and better behaved. They are also able to be more tasked oriented. The classes that don’t have this the kids are wilder, only a few can complete assignments and are incapable of being quiet for at 2 minutes. ( I challenge them and time them and get 2 minutes max out of them) K-1 they need to be read to everyday and can do silent reading by second grade.
