The only thing mastery schooling taught me was empathy for people whose learning style doesn't fit the style used in a classroom. It's hard to understand the the connections between and motivations for concepts when you are learning everything about a topic before moving on. I prefer the style described above, of learning the basics then moving on and circling back when more advanced aspects are needed. Clearly different styles work better for different people.
