It really encourages kids to approach the problems with "What's the answer?" first, rather than "What's the question?"
That how education works in the US, pretty much through high school, no?
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Yeah, one of my classmates has had something like this lately, and at least one other person in the department caught it from him. But right now, it's starting to feel more like a sinus infection, I think.

Yeah. And I really think that's a lot of why so many adults have trouble with math -- it's almost always presented as if the point is just to get an answer or solve an equation, when really, that's the stuff that any computer can do; there's a lot of math that's really uniquely human, and lots of proofs and projects that can be phrased in a way that even second-graders can understand, but in general, what they get, except with some exceptional teachers, is just how to solve the problems that'll show up on exams.

Anyone who didn't get a chance to see last night's Daily Show should try and catch the rebroadcast tonight. It is worth it. Tonight's no slouch either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not precisely a Gilmore Girls fan, although I watch it.
I really did like tonight's episode. That rocked.
