Dear Editor:
I’m in grade 7 and I go to John Black Public School.
I think that outdoor learning is much more effective than indoor because if you’re cooped up in a desk all day you will focus less and be more rowdy. If we learn outside we can focus a lot better and get work done.
Plus sitting in a chair all day makes you a less intelligent version of yourself. When I go outside it makes my work ethic go up. People have done brain scans and science experiments have shown that people can work better after going outside and being outside.
And another reason would be if you’re stressed and you go outside you can be calm and get more work done. Also studies show if you’re sitting too long your brain activity goes down.
