OK, this guy sounds very impressive, but his educational experiences were so very atypical that I'm concerned whether he'd have any real grasp of how normal people learn.
I get the feeling that going to his classes would be like getting swimming lessons from a mermaid.

- hugh3 15y agoI originally wrote "merman", I should have stuck with that. Yes, if you want to look at boobies then learning swimming from a mermaid is a good idea, but if you want to learn to swim it's non-ideal. "OK, now thrash your tail" "I don't have a tail!" "Oh... uhhh, so do those leg things move independently or what?"
