Kids ideas are ambitious and imaginative, they want to build extravagant things, and we cannot support all that according to our perfection standards, but we can according to their creative standards. It might be primitive or crude, but the kids see it and they fill in the missing pieces. We have had kids make silent animations, then provide the soundtrack, live, at an auditorium. Or they can explain the film, or do some on the spot verbal editing. They don't see the world through a rectangular frame.
Animation is a magnet for the dyslexic.
There are a lot of dyslexic animators, both student and professional. A.D.D. kids are often the leaders in an animation class. Animation can be a catalyst for re-mixing the chemistry, regardless of who is labeled TAG or troubled. Another strong classroom idea is to create animation quilts, or animation murals. Something different can happen in each square.
