The Concentration game

With the exposure to a variety of provoking stimulants , its harder and harder to get the concentration of students. It becomes a vicious cycle. The more interesting you make the lesson, the harder it is for the students to learn to quiten down.

I feel worried and sorry for this generation of students. The jobs that matter most are going to require intense concentration. How is the next generation going to take up the job of running the country if they are constantly needing exciting stimulants?
