I highly suspect the mind wanders less when DOING something. And especially doing something as a pair or small team. I mean possibly mostly down to "not at all". One solution might be more work of that sort and a lot less of passive listening. Of course that could well take a much lower pupil-to-teacher ratio as well as a substantially different approach to teaching / learning. Supportive rather than lecturing with high and immediate responsiveness to questions. But I know b*gger all about teaching kids. Only ever taught adults (navigation and sailing theory).
