"The absurdity of this style of learning math hit me squarely between the eyes in my post-secondary education. In a statistics class I once approached my professor, asking for help. “What sorts of practice problems should I be drilling?” I asked. She looked at me like I was from the moon. In her French education, she had (apparently) not learned math in this way. “Go somewhere, lie down, and daydream about it for a while” ended up being her advice."

So jealous of French education now.
