Brain Rules

Just bought my next favorite brain book, Brain Rules, by John Medina. Aside from putting treadmills in every classroom (to juice up the brain fertilizer as you learn) and aside from getting a good night's sleep (so the brain can relive the important info of the day thousands of times), this molecular biologist says something I've been teaching for 15 years:

"The single greatest predictor of academic success that exists is the emotional stability of the home. If you want to get your kid into Harvard, go home and love your spouse!"

The website has some cool video. Worth your time and attention.

But run in place as you watch it for maximum effect.

Then sleep on it.
