Yes. I keep it on my books shelf as a reference because the research is
the most reliable and I recommended it in my weekly column that I write
for the Journal Newspapers. I also recommend: Teaching With The Brain In
Mind published by ASCD by Jensen, The Secret Life of the Brain by Restak
and PBS program and The Owners Manual for The Brain by Peterson. I have
applied to Harvard to pursue my interest. I am reading Peterson's book
today; schools and everything else are closed due to icy roads.

PS. About a year ago The National Academies move to 5th street NW in DC;
I have to pass it and their headquarters and bookstore on my way to the
courthouse. They have great sales.

Dear Van, Are you reading "How People Learn? The fourth chapter about
the infants and their predisposition to learn was fascinating. I have
repeated some of the case stories to everyone I know.

I have been a lawyer for more than 20 years; I just completed 24
semesters hours of graduate work in education. I am fascinated by the
new discoveries in brain science. I have applied to Harvard to take
courses in cognitive science. The brain is the primary organ for
learning; the more we know about it the better we can teach.

Greetings to other students in The Learning Classroom series. I just
got started and am working on session 2. I find the readings
fascinating, especially the ones from the book, How People Learn. Are
all of you classroom teachers?
