But need a base to create, and the resources to do it. the criminal angle is simply one hook to get some funding. but the more important point is that issues of self-control are predictive of academic achievement! low income kids have lower self-control and poor academics. there are powerful techniques to improve self-control, but they have yet to be elegantly developed and applied in the public domain. how do you propose we move forward? if you donate the funds to the Center that is linked to the Penikese School, I can use to develop these tools and then shop them to all sorts of educational arenas. Teh brain plasticity issue is red hot. Most are focused on working memory because of the application to alzheimer's. No one has really caught on yet to the self-control part, but it is ripe for developing applications. I just need the resources to bring the relevant players on board and make this happen. thoughts? marc On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 7:25 AM, Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation®gmail.com> wrote: > I think your better place and future is with all the money now wasted on > charter schools.. you can posit that individivalss have different learning > methods. these methods MUST be front and center , so one is not attempting > to insert Apple software in to Pc hardware. tough example, I belive afro > american learn kinestically, . if you let them jump around the class. they > will do better.. the first thing we do is tell them to sit in one place and > listen.. you can deal with the gen
