IRRELEVANCE

WHAT IS LEARNING?

““…[L]earning is about going beyond the knowledge given to you in a class or in a book…. Learning is personal. It happens one on one, it happens in small groups, it happens alone. Sure, a conference, a speaker, a lecture is motivating—but the real learning happens after. It's what you do with it, how you integrate it, how you talk to your family, friends, and classmates about it. That's what learning is.”-Dennis Littky and Samantha Grabelle, The Big Picture: Learning is Everyone’s Business

“I knew that I had a learning problem when I was in high school an dwas [sic] given a bunch of tests…and [was] told that I had a learning disability…I have gone to psychologists all my life because…I have always felt like I am an underachiever, due to the fact that whenI [sic] always went to class, the STYLE of teaching was not interactive… Everybody operates at a different pace, and this economy will be most successful when most of us can operate at the pace that best suits us, as we all do things AT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM. WE LEARN AT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM AND THINK AT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM.”
