To all those who are interested:
I have been an educator for 30 years. I have been working for the past 5 on a different method of learning. This is what I like to call "Whole Brain Learning". We know more now about the brain than any other time in recorded history, and yet we have ignored this knowledge to a large point. There are many whole brained ways of teaching out there that have been used for years successfully. The problem is that we use the proper methods and then think we have to test these methods in left-brained ways. That causes fear and stress in many students. If we would think in terms of teaching process instead of knowledge, you wouldn't believe the result. There are many ways to tap into the brain in the proper way so that students become the intrinsic learners that they were meant to be. If anyone is interested in more information along these lines, I would appreciate your input. These methods are not complicated. They are common sense approaches that are effective, and bring amazing results.

I teach my kids in the following two ways. For Catherine I use the Catherine brained approach and for Harry, the Harry brained approach.

My guiding principle in teaching the kids isn't one method but what works for the kids.

wishbone... that is one clever reply!
I have been doing some research of right brain, left brain, whole brain and found that my son uses both sides equally, but in the end their brains are very unique.
