With Primary Education dealing with developing skills and competencies in the three R’s (Reading, W(R)iting and A(R)ithmetic), half of the brain is being completely ignored!
“You have two brains: a left and a right. Modern brain scientists now know that your left brain is your verbal and rational brain; it thinks serially and reduces its thoughts to numbers, letters and words… Your right brain is your nonverbal and intuitive brain; it thinks in patterns, or pictures, composed of ‘whole things,’ and does not comprehend reductions, either numbers, letters, or words.”
