Interesting thought, Ellen, and I would like to add that a well developed brain is one that listen to the heart and we should make sure we do not leave the heart behind. Any thoughts on the brain/heart connection?

Imagine escalated motivation and achievement for learners at every level with no brain left behind. See http://twurl.nl/0lzmlh Your turn ...?
