I wish you were my teacher. That's a theory of education I've been pondering about for ages. Glad to see it formalized like this. Please consider running for office and fixing how we go about learning. :)


Actually you should be glad that I'm not your teacher. I set a number of goals for that course around learning, and forgot to set any around making the students happy. I met the goals I set but...

I'm sure that if I had stayed in academia I would have sorted out those kinds of issues. However it is clear to me that I'm much happier not being an academic.


If I learned what you were trying to teach me, I would be happy... afterwards. Being happy during the course is not required.


You might want to have a look at Pimsleur. The theory described is almost the same except Pimsleur was studying language learning... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimsleur_language_learning_syst...
