I agree with you there, but there are more factors to account for. I myself have only just discovered what it is that makes me 'remember', and 'learn'. And that is 4 years after I have completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Science. Depending on the source or nature of the information, I am either better at hearing it, or seeing it. And with other skills I actually need to try, and fail (a few (dozen)) times before I understand what is going on. Learning always came 'natural' to me, with no real stimulus to get good at it, or understand it. If it took me 26 years to figure out how to learn, there is no way any teacher, parent or politician could 'specify' which teaching method is going to work best for me, or any other individual. The current method of teaching, to me, appears like someone throwing a plate of spaghetti against the wall, and see what sticks. It's messy, and quite some people end up on the floor (of society), but at least you can point at the mess and say 'see, I am doing my best'.

I can answer that: 1 to 4 are mine, and I own the mail-server :-)
