> "Most of the student's time was spent on math, science, and classical music, which were much, much more painful for me in terms of the sheer amount of practice and rote memorization."
are you saying that science, math and music are areas where rote memorization is a problem? i think most definitely that these are three areas where creativity and critical thinking are far more important than learning a static corpus.
a general problem being discussed here is that any system that isn't being constantly invented by its instructors will tend towards static corpus teaching rather than procedural skills, instincts and passion.
