Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits

(Not so) new information about study habits in school and at home from Mind on NYTimes.com. I'm interested to know why these findings, some of which supposedly date back to the 1970s, are not common knowledge -- why we continue to stick to old methods that have been proven false. When I look at the data of student proficiency in reading and math in the Saint Paul Public Schools, I think about the reasons we aren't getting through to kids, why we aren't improving our services to give kids what they need to succeed at school and in life. It seems to me that a lots of the time, education academia and education practices don't match up.
