A Tale of Two Brains
School Hoping for Sweet Smell of Success
Belfast Telegraph--April 23, 2010
A primary school is hoping the whiff of peppermint and the sound of running water can help boost pupils' results.
All Saints Catholic Primary School in Liverpool is taking part in a four-week experiment designed to see if smells and sounds help youngsters' concentration skills and their ability to remember information. The smell of peppermint is being pumped into one classroom, while the other group of children will listen to sounds such as running water and rustling leaves.
The youngsters will take a daily five-minute computer test to see if the experiment is helping their learning.

President Kennedy Tried This Before Us...
Discussion Questions for Rule #2
1. Talk about evolution and its meaning. Our mind evolution has made us dominant in our known universe. Mirroring, autism, schizophrenia...how do our interacting minds affect classroom relationships?
2. It has been said that when a teacher "yells" at a student, it takes the whole class 20 minutes to recover from the stress. Any ideas about stress management for ourselves and our classrooms?
3. Speaking of stress, the article "Get Smarter" speaks of an era of rapid change that compares to the changing environment of the Ice Age. As we make the transition from the Holocene epoch into the Nőo epoch, what can we expect? What signs of the Nőo epoch do you already see?
