the experience of his girlfriend struck a chord with me. I used to be confused why no one else was asking questions in class. it took getting to the higher levels of hard science education before I realized: everyone else had just been learning by rote. it's easy to just show up, memorize, and pass the test. it came back to bite them in the ass later when they reached the washout phase of math, physics, and chemistry. classes suddenly switched "know XYZ" to thinking critically about why XYZ was happening and what that implied about the physical system we were working on.
