Daniel Pink's Question

If you had to create a new school -- or reform your current school -- so that it better develops the six senses, what one or two things would you do?

1. To reform my current school I would first begin with incorporating story into subjects like math and science. People learn better when they can connect the thing they are learning to something in their lives. I feel that when students are in their math classes they are learning things that have no "why" to them. I think that in order for students to learn, then they need to know the "why", and if they don’t then they won’t really have the same motivation. The why is both part of story and empathy, and incorporates both of those into the reasoning.

2. I would also change the design of the room to make it more comfortable for the students. I would do this with the use of color, furniture design, and technology. Design cane influence the ways in which kids learn, and a comfortable environment provokes creativity.
