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
