The active and dynamic process of acquiring skills and understandings which are needed for survival and well-being. At the individual level, learning improves the quality of life of the participant. At a broader social level, it has the potential to transform cultures, societies, politics and the world we live in. The most profound period of learning takes place in childhood where accelerated development of the brain takes place (researchers estimate that around 16 billion synaptic receptors per second are developing in the brains of children between 12 - 18 months of age). Tragically, the damaging effects of childhood trauma, stress, neglect and exposure to drugs and alcohol in the uterus are affecting the physical development of an alarming number of children. This has frightening implications, not only for the life prospects and outcomes of individuals but also for society as a whole. Learning is a cornerstone for participation in life at every level. It is what makes humans the most powerful and influential species on the planet. It is vital that lifelong learning be nurtured, respected and participated in by all.

Get the Learning mug.school is a place where people go and learn. It’s not only for kids but also for teachers. Kids learn their ABC’s and the teacher learn that they will never be as young as the kids. The kids learn how to write an essay and the teacher learn that they should always assign essays just so they can feel the pain of having to read and grade hundreds of random words on a paper. The kids learn how to paint a happy photo of their family and the teachers learn that they will never have that. The kids learn how to pass letters in class and the teachers learn to never read them. The kids learn, the teachers regret.

Get the learning mug.A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities e.g. household tasks, socialising or managing money, which will affect someone for their whole life. People with a learning disability tend to take longer to learn and may need support to develop new skills, understand complicated information and interact with other people.
Learning disability is often confused with dyslexia and mental health problems. Mencap* describes dyslexia as a “learning difficulty” because, unlike learning disability, it does not affect intellect.
*The Royal Mencap Society is a charity based in the UK that works with people with a learning disability, founded in 1946 by Judy Fryd.

I spent five years with him, put up with all his bull#&$*, decorated his place, gave him a makeover, and taught him how to behave, only to have him appear like a prince for his new girlfriend Hannah. Guess I played the learning girl in that relationship.
