Education vs. Your Brain: Whose Side Are You On?

“Though we have been stuffing them into classroom and cubicles for decades, our brains actually were built to survive in jungles and grasslands. We have not outgrown this.”

So says molecular biologist Dr. John Medina in his new book Brain Rules.

After reviewing conducting his own research and studying many others’ research he has some interesting thoughts.

“What do these studies show, viewed as a whole? Most this: If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. If you wanted to create a business environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you would probably design something like a cubicle. And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear down both and start over.”
