It almost certainly is 'for real' ...."brain based" education is the
latest fad among those who insist that education can not only be
professionalized but become 'scientific.' As with all such fads it is
entirely premature or, to paraphrase Frank Zappa's take on the circularity
of human events, it's just too previous man.

Recent neurobiological research has provided extremely interesting
data however, some of which suggests a more promising approach to learning
theory(s); e.g., 'feelings' can be considered as cognitive as any other
percept on empirical grounds.

for what it's worth, Rolfe
