Applying tools to solve problems is a much more effective way to learn. A hands-on approach results in higher retention, greater learning, and more enjoyable experiences compared to simply learning about the tools in theory.

Everything can always be improved upon unlike graded assignments and tests that do not reflect work in the world. Real value is created through a process of iterative improvement without limits on success.

Collaboration and socialization are essential components of effective learning. In today's world, where almost everything of significant value requires teamwork and collaboration, it's important for kids to develop these skills early on. 

When you connect what you're learning to your strengths, interests, and passions, learning becomes more engaging and relevant. This enhances your ability to absorb and retain knowledge and skills effectively.

Teaching develops a deep understanding of the subject matter by forcing you to articulate what you know in a simple and comprehensive way. Therefore all all effective learners should have opportunities to teach.
