"If in our society, most kids are going to spend most of their time away from their parents in daycares, in kindergarten, preschools, and finally in schools, and if we understand that these are years of brain development, then the question the school will be asking themselves is not how to drive algebra into the kids' heads or how to teach them computer skills, but what conditions will promote the development of healthy brain circuits? \ . ¢¢We'd have a totally different school system if we had a brain-based school system.” "The healthy brain has certain qualities: social connectivity, caring, seeking curiosity, play. All mammals play. Why? Play is one of the most important drivers of healthy brain development. "What if the schools understood that the human brain needs warm, nurturing human interactions with trusting and trustworthy adults? That play is essential? That curiosity is a natural circuit in the human brain and it needs to be fostered rather than squashed? ¢ Students must feel safe, secure before learning: Dr. Gabor Maté "We'd have a totally different school system if we had a brain-based school system."
