thoughts from the brain and behavior institute

Submitted by jrlewis on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 2:19pm.
Love the debate about brain washing.  Makes me reconsider a lot of concepts discussed in the Brain and Behavior Institute.  I learned that teachers can not completely control the input to a student’s brain.  The brain is capable of generating its own input.  Therefore, teachers can not control the nervous system output either. Could this explain, certain perceived educational frustration and failure? Might brain washing be impossible for the same reasons?
