Education has always been an act of faith. We put children in rooms, talk at them for hours, test them on what they remember, and call the result learning. For most of the history of formal schooling, nobody asked what was actually happening inside the skull while all of this was going on. Neuroscience has started answering that question, and the answers are uncomfortable. This fully referenced article explores what the brain needs in order to learn, why so much of what schools do works against the grain of neurobiology, and what changes when educators take the organ they are trying to shape seriously.
