"For example, educators are among the professions that should really know how to cope with chronic stress, given the growing research on how chronic stress affects neurogenesis and cognitive performance overall. Education, like the culture it subsumes, is a conservative phenomenon. Science and technology move rapidly, education does not. So if schools often resemble the schools of fifty years ago, that should not be surprising. Parents remember their school experiences, and since they have survived them, they are typically leery about educators "experimenting" with their children. Which explains why, in general, schools have not incorporated many of the lessons of neuroscience, and cognitive psychology." - Dr Robert Sylwester
