2a: "...Emotions Trump Learning" What I feel this quote means is that, our emotions rule our learning ability. We will only learn what we feel we can. If we are nervous or scared in school our learning is going to be greatly effected in a negative way. However, if we feel happy to be at school, comfortable and excited, our minds will be more likely to soak up the knowledge during class time and we will be more involved. I feel that this is why creating a "safe learning enviroment" for students is so stressed. If they do not feel safe at school negative emotions will be created and it will put a damper on their learning experience. I believe with positive emotions students will greatly succeed in the classroom.
