There is a fundamental difference between memory and comprehension, that is knowledge and the application of it. Movements like this lead to dangerous thinking and social regression. I understanding that there is choice to not conventionally educate someone through school, but to not substitute it is to take away knowledge and that is unfair for her.

@ThePrimalTribe I pretty much had the same reaction as shesaterror. Thank you for clarifying :D

@Mixarenan I understand how people learn based on what I intuited plus experience, observation, evidence, the testimony of others. Learning is what your brain does. It doesn't do anything else. How did you learn to walk or talk? Because learning is what your nervous system does. This means you're learning even when you don't know you're learning. If you're forced to learn multiplication, you will learn - and you learn that you need to be forced in order to learn. That's why you think that, now.

@ion010101 I can't imagine people think that intuitive will always lead to correct knowledge, 'cause that's just batshit lunacy. oh, wait, I can. nvm.

Just read something called, hurpderppedia. Yeah... schooled people.

@Mixarenan I can't imagine being without that intuitive understanding. I can't imagine that. I can't imagine being you. I pride myself on being able to get into just about any head space... but I can't imagine alive in the world devoid of the answer to your question.

[Mixarenan]

well, how -does- she learn?
