If I only knew in high school that I learn better and much quicker on my own…
Honestly a good advice. Schema X to learn is not suitable for everyone.

Learning with extra steps.
Like the idea of giving students to fit as many notes on a 3x5 card for a test as they can to use during a test, it’s also indirectly studying the material.
Me, using red and blue pens and wearing old school 3d glasses to school so I have double notes.
Hah, my kid wanted to do that. We didn’t have the glasses (used for Anaglyph 3D) around, but the school let them use a printer to print on the card. You can get a lot on a 3x5 with a laser printer that is still readable.
I was only allowed to do it once, and on a test I could have easily passed with no notes. I was allowed to bring a calculator to a history test once though. Football coaches roped into teaching give zero fucks.
This is just “what educators have known about education for decades” in meme format.
Different people do best learning in different ways. And different people learn different subjects at different rates. Grouping people my age, putting them all in lectures during the day and having them all do task work at home is not a good solution to education.
It was great when it was introduced, because it brought the majority of uneducated people up to a minimum level where they could read and do arithmetic. But compared to what we COULD be doing now that we know more and are better at it, this sort of industrial era “factory line” approach is idiotic.
And educators have known it for a long time now. Government just hasn’t caught up
what educators have known about
What good educators have known about (which in my experience is certainly the majority). I definitely had some select teachers in high school and college that were convinced that if you couldn’t learn the same way as everybody else it was somehow a ding on them (even though it was far more a ding on the rigidity of an aging rote recall / (as you said) factory line education structure), and therefore you were stupid/didn’t care/not worth the effort.
In my lexicon, educators and teachers are not synonymous :3
But yeah, you are totally correct
Ah yeah absolutely true. Not all teachers are educators, but those that are (in addition to the plethora of educators that are not teachers) understand and triumph the value of adapting education to the individual rather than trying to force the individual to adapt to the education.
Where’s that cartoon of the elephant being told they need to climb the tree just like the pumas have.
This one?
Yes!
I’d like to probably incorrectly argue that going off to find some passionate person on YouTube to re-lecture you can be of more benefit (or at least less stress but less effective) than doing practice questions and shit.
I know this doesn’t stand up to scrutiny but fuck I hate homework.
Nah, this totally checks out. Learning is learning. Different methods work for different people
No you’re right, most people find it much easier to engage with a teacher who is genuinely enthusiastic about what they’re teaching
Another factor is that one on one learning is beneficial for people who are prone to distraction even without the interaction benefits everyone gets from typical one on one learning (with two people in the same room)
The teachers I remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.
I can personally vouch that its medically impossible for me to remain focused for an entire lecture which is just a teacher talking
While online self learning has non of those benefits. I can control speed to get information before i get distracted. Can go back as much as i need to and often uses much more visual stimulation.
My teachers concluded i was just not motivated/interested in learning physics. Which is why i spend post education free time on learning physics for fun.
best cheating strategy
I might be giving OP too much credit here but I think being oblivious is the joke??
A ton of greentext is just “this is funny because it’s a story of someone thinking they gamed the system by in fact just thinking for themselves while still being a part of the system.” But this is even just a more general comedic trope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-i4X2cleA
I think this was a gag on The Simpsons at some point
