This is a brilliant idea. Alot of the information is remembered because of this method of learning.

When our shool district introduced "New" math and a new reading program, my mother put me in a college prep school. One needs drill and kill, repetition, and critical thinking. Children need the "old-fashioned basics- A lot of it. One can't learn with so much fluff in the curriculum. Also, so many parents don't work with and/or read to their children at home, so one has to try to make up for it at school. YET another person

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6

It sure is good right now because adults know what they are doing. Soon the culture of respecting adults will change to the young worshipping their own selves. And when these kids become adults they will not be able to work like the adults of today.I read peoples views on education in AMERICA and older people believe this but their grandchildren generally don't have a clue and just don't care.

I am sorry to say the same methods have ruined the learning of students in USA.

It produced a culture of " I want fun all the time" for the children. Majority of high school students can't do basic math like multiply /divide and a lot of them have trouble writing their mother toung english too. Spelling, punctuation, grammar mistakes. A small minority learns what everyone used to. Smallest % become the creative thinkers. Rest of them suffer later in life.
