** Max: ** It’s not difficult 99. You just take the time to read through these papers and have some kind of system. Would you believe the average human brain has over 13 billion cells. 14 if you're faculty? Would you believe there is a Cone of Learning? Does Chief have a Cone of Learning? Maybe this will tell us how to increase our retention of vital information. This can’t be right 99. It says, we only remember 10% of what we read and 20% of what we hear. Why are we always reading then? We better check this research. If this is true, the only ones who are remembering anything are the teachers, since they are the ones doing the talking. OK, back to our mission. Connecting to students differences. What are strategies teachers can use? // {Starts flipping through the piles in his brief case…} // I’m sure I saw some papers on that in here. They are always sending us stuff from headquarters, but I just can’t seem to find the time to organize it. ** 99: ** Well I’m just doing some searching on the CTL website and texting the science control room with that very question. ** 99: ** Here we go Max. Look at all the ideas. We have to come up with a way of getting this information out to our Control Agents. Any thoughts? Or Plan 2, we could get the chief to mandate that every agent try at least one new strategy each week. Perhaps, we should stick to Plan 1
 * Max: ** 99, Did you see this information from our Control Scientists about how the KAOS pill is affecting our Control Agents. Luckily, we haven’t seen too much evidence of those symptoms yet.
 * 99: ** Yes, and then there is all this information on learning. It’s getting harder and harder to keep up these days with all this information that we have to go through every time we get assigned a new case.
 * Max: ** I’m sure I’ve got the paper right here…oh, no – that’s that other one I was looking for on our last case.
 * Max: ** Well, Plan 1, we cold get all our agents together for a day long event to discuss different strategies they are using and how they are working.
