More and more, our world is driven by right-brain thought.

Sadly, consider what\'s happening today in schools.

With a poor economy, budget cuts are being made across the country.

The first courses dropped by public schools are right brain courses:

art, music, and drama.

Daniel Pink shares some helpful insights about how our brains

function in his book, A Whole New Mind.

He describes the difference between left-brain and right-brain

thinking. He argues that the old world is a left-brain world. The new

one is a right-brain world. Part of our dropout problem can be

summarized in one phrase: we are preparing students in \"Left-Brain\"

schools to enter a \"Right-Brain\" world. The school does not resemble the

world they\'ll enter after graduation. If they graduate at all.

Albert Einstein once said, \"Imagination is more important than

knowledge.\" What he meant was this: knowledge is finite. Imagination can

take a person into the infinite.
