In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking,

while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic

subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy.

Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics,

feelings, and creativity.

The right brain-left brain theory grew out of the work of

Roger W. Sperry, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in

1981
