    Now, the big question is: will you remember all of it tomorrow?

    Several times I have succeeded in explaining a semester’s worth of math/physics at high school or first-year university level in about an hour. The problem was that although my clients’ teachers had learned to pass an exam in the subject, they did not deep-down understand the subject. Advancing the field is what I do for a living.

    If you enjoy learning it, you tend to remember it. How much more we could learn if it were all this easy.

    If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

    With today’s Web children are not taught to remember, but how to access information.

    I’ve read of math teachers conducting “reverse classes.” The kids watch lectures on line at home or in the library. Class time is devoted to working problems so the teacher can give individual attention when and where needed.

    I alway recall the words of Bob Brownell, founder of Brownells the world leading provider of gunsmithing parts and equipement said iN the first of his three books.
    “Never trust a gunsmith (I would say anyone) who doesn’t have books. It’s not what you remember, it’s what you remember where to look it up.’

    it’s called flip learning. think of all the gray hairs it saves parents trying to help with homework, like the president said about his daughters 7th grade math. (presented without further comment)

    A great teacher I know feels that education needs to be radically changed. There is now far too much information for students to remember. And technology is changing so quickly. Education needs to teach us how to learn. As long as we know where and how to look it up, it is okay. And we will naturally remember some of it.
