usetoschool Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 :iagree: and love this. I read an interesting article about the same thing in, I think, the New York Times, a couple of years ago. Yep, here it is. It is a very hopeful and encouraging idea and it is so amazing how our brains work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I just started reading an absolutely fascinating book that goes into this. I heard about this book here. I wish there was a version for kids/teens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Excerpt: "Some researchers have found that rigorous academic curricula lead to improved IQ scores." I am reminded of the disaster drill warning on the radio: This is a Test, only a Test. I have always thought people could get better or worse at testing.
