I think this is actually how everyone learns! You can't put information into people. You can present it to them, but they need to teach themselves, so to speak. If you have what I think is a good schooling system, it will recognize and emphasize the self-teach aspect - students are encouraged to figure things out on their own. For instance, where I studied CS most of the time was allocated to doing semester projects where we'd be a small self-organized team of 3-7 students working on something with very little external input. You can find similar ideas for schools, e.g. Sudbury schools. I think the Waldorf school has some aspects of it too. I'm sending my children to such a school.
