Some+ideas+about+LEARNING+and+what+schools+need+to+be+doing+for+you

The following quotes and excerpts are taken from Jim Burke's new book, __What's the Big Idea?__ (Heinemann Press, 2010).
== A recent study by college and university professors indicates that students should be able to engage in the following intellectual practices. (The percentage notes the number of professors who believe the practice is "important" or "essential.") ==

== I have concluded that in a flat world [one that has become hyper-connected], I. Q. -- intelligence quotient -- still matters, but C. Q. and P. Q.-- curiosity quotient and passion quotient -- matter even more. . . Give me a kid with a passion to learn and a curiosity to discover and I will take him or her over a less passionate kid with a high I. Q. every day of the week. Because curious, passionate kids are self-educators and self-motivators. ==
