Tell me the worst and I can handle the pain better, is scientific research not bravado. Who follows it?

Uh, I was home sick with the flu when they taught the rules of grammar.
Been successfully avoiding it ever since

Did your 3rd grade teacher ever call you out as a DayDreamer? Would you be insulted if today, one of your peers, supervisor or partner accused you of daydreaming?

She had been teaching 5th grade in a Bronx, N.Y. school all her adult life. This September the principal asked her to teach a class of 8th graders, and both were hostile strangers to each other.

Your writer is a Contrarian and skeptical by legal training. When reading of human-like communicating chimpanzees, giggling was my reaction. It turned out to have merit.

Which produces successful experts, the coach (instructor) holding your hand and talking you through learning (golf, tennis, driving a car, and typing) or Ma, Let me do it myself?

Can you remember the first time you got on a two-wheel bike? Can you mentally visualize your parent holding you upright? Did he/she yell at you for not learning fast enough? Did you fall and scare hell out of yourself? And finally, did you succeed or fail in learning to ride your two-wheeler? You are still a great learner.


Additional Commentaries and Reports

A 5-year study of the reading habits of 1,050 students (high school and college) and 875 executives reveals reading books is last on their hierarchy of values. It is an old fashioned knowledge technology. These results mirror the past twenty years of information technology. Public access to the Internet is a form of neuroplasticity. The computer changes not just our learning habits, but the function and structure of the brain of Homo sapiens.
