You know, fater reading this article, it makes me want to go out and start changing things. Hell, makes me want to be a teacher almost, just so I could try to do what this guy is talking about. In fact, it makes me want to go up to whoever my history teacher is when I have to take it in a semester or two and ask him or her if learning dates really is going to help us; if he or she can't change things up so we can actually learn important events and the whys and hows. I'd do it with my math teachers, but they at least try to equate what we do in real life.
What the guy talks about is so very true, it makes me a tad sad I didn't get taught like that. I mean, there are so many classes in which I don't remember jack from, and I got A's in those classes, yet I can remember hundreds of lines from the Simpsons and can 8-9 times out of 10 tell you what the entire episode will be in the first minute, and sometimes even in the first ten seconds. Our memories don't learn boring crap that's not important to us, and the way this guy speaks of making it work for us is just brilliant.
