"A normal, living human brain is pink-beige colored and soft enough that it can be cut with a butter knife. (..) the cerebral cortex appears as folds or wrinkles about the thickness of an orange peel. (..) this tissue covering would be about the size of an unfolded sheet of newspaper if streched out flat." (11.p) 👁️👄👁️
Everyone at some point in their life learns on their own about the way their brain seems to function better after some physical activity, healthier meals, normal sleep, positive connection with other people, cold shower and so on. Obviously schools can't affect what the children eat, when they go to bed and so on, but there are some things that can be influenced or encouraged, however mostly 'teaching' seems to be busy with the "What to teach?" and rarely with the 'what is needed to get the attention and how to ensure the humans' natural need for movement and involvement of senses and emotions in learning process?' How the brain learns the best? – is such an underrated question.
