"1. Quiet Time periods in all classrooms "To incorporate stress reduction into students’ daily lives, the participating school adds a twice-daily 'quiet time' period to the morning and afternoon schedule. These 15-minute breaks are held in all classrooms and are overseen by all teachers. most students meditate at this time, while others choose another quiet and educationally valuable activity such as reading. The schoolwide Quiet Time periods allow youth to quiet their minds, rest their bodies, and restore their readiness to learn."

To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, March 23, 2014, 4:59 PM I hope that is a fact. When I looked up Quiet Time, all the references were about TM only, though I did not go through more than two pages on Google. So I do not know if this is some general programme for schools or just one promoted by the David Lynch Foundation. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : As I understand it, an "alternative to TM" has been part of the Quiet Time program from the beginning. Kids and parents get to choose whether the kids will practice TM or some alternative (although that alternative might itself be religious, e.g., silent prayer). It seems that some of the schools might attempt to put a secular alternative to TM in place for 'quiet time'.
