No matter whether you are wondering what classes your child should take in elementary school, middle school, high school, or even college, there is a secret ingredient to making the most knowledgeable decision – the corpus callosum.
In 1989, Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar for Best Actor at the 61st Academy Awards for playing the role of Raymond Babbitt in the1988 movie Rain Man. Dustin Hoffman’s leading role was inspired by the real life story of Kim Peek who was an autistic savant and had no corpus callosum.
Even though neuroscientists have clearly linked the thickness, timing, and structure of the corpus callosum to academic performance, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, emotional disabilities, and autism, most educators and parents are unfortunately not aware of the importance of the corpus callosum when it comes to choosing a student’s academic courses.
In contrast to many other countries, most schools and parents in the United States emphasize a left-brain hemisphere focused curriculum including Math, English, Foreign Languages, Science, History, and other logical, analytical, sequential, rational, and objective courses.
