I'm not a teacher. I'm not an educator of any kind. And I'm certainly not a physicist. So I have no idea whether the approach described here, which reminds me greatly of the one taken by the philosopher in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, could ever work. Frankly, I doubt it. It just seems to reek of then a miracle occurred.
But what if it did?

I have always felt it is the most applied science ever and I really struggled in learning. I finally just memorized all the formulas in college. The examples were sexist and that didn't help...football, machinery, etc.
I remember that guy. His firing was very controvercial...mostly because he would "conversation" about his wacky Arab policies during physics classes. His inability to separate politics from his teaching assignments is what got him fired.
Anyway, according to his own description, he was just doing a sort of bastardized Montesorri program. Which might have proved effective in some cases.
The aha moment would happen with such an approach.
