I frequently hear this comment about spaced repetition, but I’m not sure how it would be different than modern education. In physics, we started with unit analysis, but it continued being a factor throughout the course. Then we learned kinematic, which didn’t disappear once we went into dynamics and both were constantly used with electrostatics. Similarly, in language courses, you start with a single conjugation in present indicative. You build out from there, but the present tense would still show up on every assignment, even after you’ve gone through pluperfect subjunctive. Needless to say, algebra courses freely called back to basic arithmetic and calculus called back to algebra.
I feel like I must be attacking a straw man here, as you’re not the only individual I’ve met who found spaced repetition revelatory, but I’m still not sure what I’m missing.
