A factory worker at an assembly line, who can learn their job in 5 minutes, can get bored fairly easily, and disengage completely.

Not even identical twins can have the exact same experiences, and their brains are not wired the same way.

That is one of the reasons why I am so skeptical about applying brain findings to the classroom.
