School systems should definitively make use of spaced repitition. It’s like a slap in science’s face not making use of the insight that people forget at an exponentially decreasing rate (which is known as the Ebbinghaus curve [1] since 1885 (!)). The only attempt I know of that goes into that direction is BrainRush [2], a startup by one of the developers of the Pong game.
