...with the words of my senile yet seemingly credible eighth grade math teacher Mrs. Kelly, I'd have to agree that "the more senses you bring into the learning process, the more fruitful will be the learning." Marking up textbooks, thus, is not a malicious act of destruction. Rather, marginalia are a personal art form wherein highlighting, underlining and even doodling trigger specific parts of your brain.

Staff writers Karl Taro Greenfeld, Joel Stein and Romesh Ratnesar and writer-reporters Michele Orecklin and Jodie Morse are current TIME tutors. Stein, Orecklin and Ratnesar have been working with eighth-grader Jovon Lee since last September. It didn't take long to discover they had a voracious reader on their hands, even if his tastes did tend to lean more toward stories about sports and music than national politics--although long before Jesse Ventura's election as Governor of Minnesota...
