Pumps' Perplexities

When I went to "the little red schoolhouse" we were taught
by "rote".....You read "Dick and Jane" until you dropped
and wanted to kill "Spot"......But that was the method of
teaching, back then......

During the last 30 years or so the "educators" have come
to the conclusion that this is not the proper method of
teaching......A student should learn by "thinking" not by
"rote or routine"........2 + 2 can equal 5 if the "thought
process" is proper......The other new path of learning
has become the computer.......

No where is it mentioned today by any "educator" that
a computer function is learned by "rote"......Doing the
same thing over and over again, building up speed of
the function at the same time......Just like learning how
to type......

"See Spot run" is nothing more than "Ctr Alt Del".....Pumps
