Eager for knowledge, a child is by nature curious about everything. Why, then, is school such an unpleasant place for some children? In this program, teachers, researchers, a psychoanalyst, a neurologist, a neurobiologist, a psychomotor specialist, and others examine the process of learning and the classroom as a learning center. Mastery of reading and writing—the key to unlocking all forms of communication and the entry point to many other exciting domains—is emphasized. In addition, the concept of multiple intelligences is explored. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (52 minutes)
