Parents students network

Post by mulffett » Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:41 am

Hi all, I heard that this memory expert is coming to town and plans to share his knowledge to students so that they can harness this knowledge and enable them to perform better in school. His manager is a friend of mine, and she’s asking me how to reach out to International Schools because she’d like to open this seminar to expat families and their kids.

Does anyone know if there’s a parent-student network for International Schools that I can put the manager through to? I think this sounds exciting personally, I’d love to go for the seminar but unfortunately I’m past the student stage lol… Thanks!

memorising is useless if you don't know how to apply. Just my 2 cents worth

While I don't agree with wings, I'm in 100% agreement with you on this! :wink:

Hanwai01, I agree with you any technique is useless unless utilized in the right way. One benefit for having good memory is students will have more confident, to communication with their peers, discuss studies subjects with the teachers.

Here's one of the 4 parts from the seminar introduction:

Part C: Becoming a Super Student with a Super Memory
- Witness amazing memory stunts … and do them YOURSELF!

Performed by Eran Katz himself, the Guinness Record Holder provides students the proof that they can DIY memory stunts themselves. Learn and practice fool-proof techniques for efficient recall of
 Lectures, articles and loads of written materials for exams
 Facts, quotes, data and general information
 Foreign vocabulary, concepts and terms
 Formulas and Mathematical equations … and more


What's not good about having better memory, it applies in so many areas than just for school exam!

It's not good if you have had lots of trauma in your childhood or even later. The memory never dims! :-|

It's like saying, no good to learn how to earn money as you always end up spending them all....

Joke aside, SPH is promoting a similar seminar for executives at 4 times the price, but for Eran's passion in teaching students (he conducted over 200 seminars over the past years all around Japan, Korea and Thailand), he is giving a super deal for children.
