Learning.....and where.

I'm going to start by saying that each person has a left brain and a right brain. Your left brain is your academic learning, and your right brain is your common sense, and artistic skills. Some of us are more right brained than left, and vice versa. I think that left brained learning occurs in school, and right brained learning, the common sense, occurs in life. Both are important, but the question here is, which form of learning is more important?

Let's start with left brain learning, the academic form. Some examples are reading and writing. Those are the only reason I think we need to got to school. It is almost impossible to survive in the world if you cannot read and write. Another important learning tool is Math. Numbers are used world wide, and if you can't add or subtract, than you can't balance finances. This will lead to real trouble in your life. The other subjects, like Science, Social Studies, Drama, French, we don't really need.

Now on to right brained learning, the common sense, and the artistic point of view. I think this is the more important form. If you know every language in the world, but you can't cook, you will have to use TV dinners, and that is not healthy. If you know all of the bodies functions, but youcannot tie your shoes, than you will be behind the rest the rest of the world.

My grandfather was kicked out of school because he was 'too dumb to learn'. That is bologne! My grandpa is that smartest person I know. He built a bridge acro a creeek for truck and trailers without going to school for it. He fixes tons of cars and tractors, and he is a fabulous cook. My grandpa is one of the smartest people I know, and he was kicked out of school for not being left-brained.

So, being right brained is important, but its definately not everything. If I had a choice of being right-brained or left-brained, I would choose to be right-brained. Full of Artstic talent and Common Sense.
