couldn't agree more. Longer
couldn't agree more. Longer periods of uninteresting & disengaged learning does nothing. It's why I hate the busy work & pointless exercises that Corporate America dishes out (for example) because it really doesn't get any "real" work done, it just kills time. And killing time isn't what I'd like to get paid for. The same can be said for our learning system. Perhaps a lot of it is just finding a way to kill time during the allotted class period...BARF.
