before filling the brain. In school we often jump to getting
information into a child's brain rather than preparing the brain
for the information to come. We do not do this with computers or
paper or even the sham wow! towels. Computers require a base
code and formatting to accept programs and make them easy for
use every day users. Paper must be smooth and typically dry
before use. And you may not know it but those super absorbent
towels need to be damp before they are fully effective. With
children we would be better off teaching them memory skills and
tools for organizing data in their brains before filling their
brains with data. If you fill a computer with data without
installing an operating system you have no way to easily
retrieve and use the data. Oddly enough our brains the original
computers work in a similar manner. So, how do we address this
problem? Simple modify those wonderful adult memory courses into
