Conventional teaching methods don't always allow this level of individualization. We learn and remember the most when we're actively engaged, enjoying what we're learning, having fun, and making meaningful connections. Learning is not simply memorization, it is being firmly rooted in the knowledge where you yourself could explain it to someone else.

While these areas of study are critical, one cannot forget about other subjects that help students become well-rounded. For me, my focus is on practicing good grammar and learning how to communicate well. Others won't know of your great inventions if you don't know how to share your ideas and explain them well.
