(2004-06-17) Micklethwait Buzan Pedagogy

Brian Micklethwait on Tony Buzan, Mind Mapping, and Educating Kids. But many teachers wouldn't have done as well as Buzan no matter how clever they were and no matter how simple the circumstances. This is because Buzan's basic method is to persuade and to inform rather than to command.

Update: Liz Lightfoot on the BBC "In Search of Genius" show that brought Buzan to Brian's attention. He believes many teachers and parents make children feel dull and stupid by concentrating on what they do or don't know, instead of on their enormous capacity for self-improvement.
