How stress can affect performance. It can be a good lesson for our education system.

The Computational Physiology Lab in collaboration with the Institute of Reconstructive Surgery Houston Methodist published a new paper in Scientific Reports regarding the transformative role of stress free environments in . In this study, young medical students who took surgical training as a hobby attained competency in record time. This was in contradistinction to slow training progress by stressed out surgical residents reported in an earlier study.

Stress precipitates fight or flight responses that prompt fast and awkward motions, resulting into a multitude of errors in practicing surgical drills. This in turn leads to more stress, throwing trainees into a vicious cycle the authors term `sympathetic looping'. The absence of stressful conditions arrests sympathetic looping, facilitating dexterous skill acquisition.

Based on these two research results and the proliferation of surgical simulators, the authors propose to render dexterous training an extracurricular activity for aspiring surgeons, long before they enter stressful surgical residency programs.

According to a news report, a certain private school was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips on the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance janitor would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance janitor. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine all the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance janitor to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled mop, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers.. . . and ........then.......there are educators..!!

And..

This did remind me of our St. George's Staff, so proud of spending our 15 years with these educators..

A good piece of music to give you a nostalgic vibe, remembering your old school days...
