This is a great way to teach and Mr. Garlikov did an amazing job. It is hard work to "teach" this way because it requires student/teacher interaction (which is a lot harder than just standing there and lecturing). Coming up with the content is equally difficult.

But it there are so many more things students learn using this method.

One is they learn how to create new ideas from existing ones: "inventing". It really gets me when I hear people tell kids "don't re-invent the wheel".

This is how our brains are wired to work: the more places we can cross-reference the material from, the more likely we can "derive" it again quickly even if we can't memorize it.

"shut up/memorize it/some things just are" kills the intention to learn faster than a speeding bullet to the brain.
