... the current school system, most of the beginning months of school are wasted on review. Everyone forgets after such a long break from school, epecially in Math. From past experience, Math seems to be the easiest to forget and the hardest to pick up right away. If the student had worked continuosly at a constant pace, there should be no reason why he/she would forget anything. As the saying goes,practice makes perfect. The best argument for a ing is that there are frequent breaks. They are long enough for the student to rest and revive him/herself, but short enough so nothing is forgotten.

... the same thinking thing in different times and places, which it only does by that consciousness which is inseparable from thinking.” This ability to reflect, think, and reason intelligibly is one of the many gifts from God and is that gift which separates us from the realm of the beast.
