Revelation #4



Revelation #4 – If advertisers have spent so much money and time discovering strategies that negatively influence the three parts of kids’ brains, why cannot educators use the same strategies to positively influence them? Instead of spending millions of dollars on bias-agenda-laden educational research that can be interpreted ten ways, why not hire the same resources and people that companies do to sell their products?  The man with the accent living in New York should be able to crack the code of student learning, right?

The video above regards a teacher who views the teaching of math as a very social activity.  While he did not directly take this view from advertisers, it is a decent example how some of the strategies that advertisers use can be effective in the classroom.
