From Power Brain Kids by Ilchi Lee
Brain-based models of education are becoming increasingly popular, perhaps because today’s children will be required to use their brains as no other generation before them. As the population has soared, the human world has in many ways shrunk, bringing people closer together through the technologies of communication and transporation. John Donne said long ago that “no man is an island,” but this may be truer today than ever before. In the twenty-first century, one could also contend that “no culture is an island,” as peoples merge and interact in ways unique in human history. This trend has brought great blessings and many challenges to the human condition.
Our children do not live in a world where belief systems and bodies of knowledge are passed from generation to generation without external influences. Rather, today’s child must face a veritable smorgasbord of information from which to choose. Our children must be able to adapt and process all this varied information easily and peacefully, so that they can make the best choices for themselves and the world as a whole.
