There were no discussions on brain research lately. So I thought should be discuss if we should teach students how important to train your brain from early ages (pre-K) and if it is too late to do this in the 12th grade, or is it?

There is a discussion on Collaborative Intelligence going

on Future of Education Forum:http://www.futureofeducation.com/forum/topics/collaborative-intelligence.

I was informed about it by Steve Hargadon. May be some poeple would like to join it?

More then half of students in urban schools are below the level of proficiency in Math and Sciences. Students are part of a system : school (a Teacher) -student- Home ( parents). In that student centered system non proficient students do not read, do not listen, and do not do the home work. Is it an example of a social desease and is an individual learning plan a remedy in a class of 35 kids ?
