People are strange - most people are autistic, and yet adamantly opposed to being diagnosed as anything but normal. Of course, normal is not a reality, it is an average vaue of all the imputs. Nobody is exactly average in every weigh. To think so is an idiocracy.
The structure of how we learn is a different structure for each of us. Some of us require drills and repetition, others just need to get our hands wet and immerse ourselves in the moment. Each learning experience is a journey toward an ultimate destination, that doesn't appear until after you've noticed that you're there.
Basics are units constructed for building. A non-parential adult becomes a trusted mentor in a teenage life - sharing common interests allows expectation values to develop organically. The child is able to sort things out based on a coach who can teach the ropes. The answers are not there in either case - it just needs people who actually work for their living to be excluded from the process of disseminating information, while the seniors and juniors learn wisdom together through exaggerative role play.
There is a major leadership crisis in society because the elderly are expected to lead, rather than to mentor leaders. Leaders need to be youthful, not the geezer class who think they know everything. Life changes have passed them by and all that is left is a delusion about how many miles they had to walk to get to school. The senior advisors would be much better off with the youth holding the reigns under proper guidence.
Focus on learning reality by testing the waters of experiential learning, not some pseudoimitation made by Hollyweird fraud. Read the books and play-cast yourself into any role. Decide your character attributes and declare your alignments and affiliations. Use the sequence, 1 1 2 3 5 8, shuffle and repeat. The phi ratio contains the accounting system for the rest of the non-human world.
Learning structure should not be entrusted to the school system. Education degrees have been awarded as door prizes to bitter failures that couldn't meet the degree requirements of graduate school. The bitter losers in the game of life are those folks who cannot appreciate anything but more money, as if the money could buy hapiness. I know that the Beatles said that money couldn't buy love.
Highly rEsteemed!
