I'm older than dirt, so my opinions don't count with modern educators. Up through fourth grade we had to get special permission from teacher to take any book home, & then only one per day. Speaking of "book learning here", not life lessons, if a student didn't learn in class how to do something, he/she couldn't learn it at home. Best teacher I had was for Biology in tenth grade. Some of his life lessons: "Practice makes perfect" is not true. Correct practice, if repeated often enough, makes perfect.
This class is so busy going to school that they don't have time to learn anything.
Education is not the facts that you learn in school. It is knowing where & how to look up those facts, & applying them.
Those of us that had the best scores on finals never opened our books. Just paid attention & took part in class discussions. I admit that I did take about 10 pages of notes on facts that we had to look up.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
