> Ok. That's a bad thing too, which I ecountered repeatedly in elementary school. However, it did burn some of the basics (multiplication, division, basic geometry) in. However, for advanced concepts, I think that you should only have to know the material consiously, and not have to recite it backwarks from memory like you can the multiplication table.

I've never had any problems with math or science homework because that is at least interesting(and doesn't take as long, even if it is twenty million of the same problems or questions about the same theory). It's the essays and papers that I am going to have to write for the rest of my life it seems, on the same topics, which will inevitably cause me carpal tunnel and make me go blind as well that really bother me and those are IMPORTANT!! These are skills that I will need later on in life! God knows why... Life is unfair. That's all I have to say.
