Metacognition Week 2 -- side notes and thoughts

All this information that we know how to measure is so exciting. So why don't we teach it to kids? "Study skills" sounds so dull, and "hack your brain" is something pitched at 20-somethings, while we might target older people with "revitalization". Why don't I know more about how I learn, about the techniques that help me the most, about where I can work to improve -- why isn't this part of standard curriculum, teaching people to learn how their minds work, at a level appropriate to where they are in maturity, so that they can get the most out of their school experiences? A thread of metacognitive knowledge should be woven through our school curriculum!
