Nothing helps my son focus like screwing in one hundred pentalobular iPhone screws. Child labor laws need revision; put those tiny arms to work!

Jokes aside, the most I've seen my kids focused is when I put a task in front of them. Work, for a lack of a better word, is good.

And there is sth special about physical labour. All the mental crap is put behind.

Good read and an interesting theory. 

I mean, my kneejerk reaction would be to disagree, as we've been dogmatized to say and think differently (e.g. a wall street banker cannot do work as noble as a teacher). But I get the point that all work is noble (and needed, in a way).

Agree. Kids need both. Minecraft is the closest most will get, until Alabama reopens its mines and restores child labor in earnest.
