This is from my experience as a parent. It's kind of common sense that spaced repetition is simple enough to be mastered by pretty much anyone. I mean dude, even orange cats can learn by rote repetition. My son has memorized letters and numbers at least since 1y3mo, and at 2yo now, can sight read many words and verbalize arithmetic that I'm sure many children are doing intuitively in their heads at this age anyway but just cannot express to adults. There's no Anki involved. We have a grandma caretaker who has the energy for half a day with him and teaches him all this stuff. His afternoon babysitters are very sharp. Like they're expensive, and I've gone through at least 10 babysitters. They all deeply teach the children they've taken care of, and I teach him, and his mom teaches him... Are you getting it? This is a cultural issue. Out of the 10 middle class or rich families I know in my community, by comparison, 9 send their kids to daycare; or the family has, shall I say, a kind of nanny that does not value education at all. These are equally educated and distinguished people as my wife and I. The one exception like us, while the parents are very gifted and the child is obviously thriving, the reason they chose not to use the typical, let's say California nanny or daycare situation, is for an ultimately very rare and fringe reason. People here are going to litigate these specific methods. Dude, go watch what daycare is like for a 1y6m-3y11m. Do you comprehend what an utter shitbox of a time wasting experience it is, and how 1-2 parents per child isn't at all comparable to 4 children per daycarist? I think you agree with me, but Larry Sanger could have definitely nonetheless set back his precocious children through some very common, mindnumbingly stupid experiences adults subject their kids to for the first 2-3 years of their life.
