Hello Xanthippa, great artiicle. This quote above spoke to me because it is something I can relate to. I to have noticed that in college I had a much better grasp on material I have reasoned for myself, or was simply interested in. Do you have a link to this study?

Unfortunately, I wrote this post several years and two computers ago.

Back then, I did not insert as many links as I do now – live and learn. But, I did have the link bookmarked…in the laptop that died of Oceanspray RubyTangerine in the keyboard. So, no, I no longer have the link – my apologies.

You know much about the topic. I recollect going through conversations about this while I was in school. Even though they were being stressful oftentimes, they had the help of staying regularly contained in just a kind of guarded region. The exact framework of this discussion is more or less decided-on from the actual (demo graphically really generally) teacher in addition to pupils. Anyways…to come back upon issue…. I wrote a blog entry on this subject on my blog =) I fundamentally summarized this post, and send my visitors to your entry. Thanks a lot for your points – more please!

Xanthippa says: Thank you!
