Meditation instead of Detention- Camryn Stafford

summary: 
West Baltimore elementary's "Mindful Moment Room" is a room where kids can practice deep breathing and yoga instead of a harsh detention system. The principle believes that once the kids start to develop self-calming methods they will be able to handle themselves and their own situations in the world outside of school.

analysis:
Deborah Bloom from CNN is a non-biased author who doesn't say whether or not she supports the idea or is opposed to it. Detention is known to be a harsh environment where kids are supposed to be so bored and miserable that they later decide to change their actions. Once I read this article I was excited that someone was thinking about the kids and what most effective for them in the long run. This article is written for everybody and can appeal to all parents who may be struggling with how to control their kids. I think many schools could benefit from this new form of "punishment." Meditation in schools can be synthesized to Dorthea Dix wanting to change the condition of mental hospitals
