Can you recall things you were asked or expected to learn but you couldn’t understand why? Perhaps you didn’t think they were important? Can you remember things you learned or tried to learn because you thought they were important, but to this day you don’t really understand them or are able to explain them? Were you ever asked to learn things for which you saw no purpose? Did you ever ask the question, “Why do we have to learn this?” The answer, in many cases, is “yes” to all of these.
