very few schools anywhere in the world have incorporated learning how to learn into their curriculums. They’ll fill us with information. They’ll expose us to great works of literature and to figures who changed the course of civilization.

But they won’t get underneath all of this to teach us how to teach ourselves, to make enriching our minds, discovering new concepts, and truly absorbing what we learn fundamental to our everyday lives.
