Subject: Visual Interference & The Glare Factor

Framework: The Eye-Mind Connection. Standard educational materials prioritise durability through high-gloss finishes. However, gloss creates reflection and bright hotspots that mask content. Children's eyes are sensitive and should avoid having to fight reflections from glare to find information, reducing rapid cognitive fatigue.

Status: Initialising for the the Collective 

The Director's Finding: By using Matte-Thermal Finish, we diffuse light across the surface rather than reflecting it. This allows children's vision to settle on the concept. We don't just protect the material; we protect the window of focus.

Logic for the Facilitator:

Material choice is pedagogical. Every second a child spends fighting environmental glare is a second lost in mastery. We eliminate the noise so the logic can flourish.

The Conclusion: Choosing a matte finish over gloss isn't an aesthetic preference; it's a commitment to Focus Duration. When the eye can rest, the mind can follow.
