Excellent article. Thank you!

In support of your article stressing the importance of authenticity in education, I recently completed a study of over 300 sensory perceptive learners (SP w/ Myers-Briggs, note: 85% of high school dropouts are SPs). Frequently in interviews, participates reported that they could not find a place in their brains for information until they knew how they were going to USE the information!

Take care,
Susan
