Left Brain Versus Right Brain Education

The main thrust of my four novels is my protagonist Marjorie Veil's year long search for spiritual and emotional freedom, using the Native American Medicine Wheel as her guide.


However, in my fourth novel, Between Now and Forever, where Marjorie takes on a class of troubled middle school students with psychic abilities, a question that naturally arises and becomes a major conflict in the story is the validity of emphasizing left brain over right brain education in our schools.


The following video helps spark the fire



 

As does Daniel Pink's book, A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The Future.


My protagonist and antagonist in Between Now and Forever present valid arguments for both - arguments that almost take them too far.



As always, thanks for stopping by.
