Self-Directed Learning

A phenomenon in which you ask yourself why the fuck you just paid $2000 to hear a professor tell you to watch a YouTube video.
Teacher: “all right class, the next hour will be focused on self-directed learning! Here’s the homework, go ahead and self-direct yourself how to do it!”
Student: “...lazy-ass bitch...”

binge learning

A tendency to partake in bouts of knowledge-seeking; An almost obsessive "indulge(nce) (of) an interest"(Eli Dourado, "‘Binge Learning’ is Online Education’s Killer App"). This is often within a field in which one already had a strong interest, but may also include seemingly random facts or topics. Can take the form of watching a collection of videos, tutorials, seminars, listening to podcasts, or just browsing Wikipedia or Google Dictionary (now the 'define' keyword). Has some similarities to binge watching.

Deep learning

Deep learning is an education technique which is becoming increasingly popular in the recent years.

In deep learning, the teacher collects a huge set of quizzes which are then given to the students to solve. The students get through an enourmous number of questions and through the repetitive process, the students learn to solve the quizzes.

One method of deep learning is done with a teacher. The teacher grades each quiz that a student does. The students improve their ability through redoing quizzes they have failed to do well in. This method has seen the most success in classrooms where the quizzes have definite answers such as in biology.

The other type of deep learning is done without a teacher. The teacher doesn’t tell the students what the right answer is, encouraging discussion between the students. This method allows students to learn better in actual exams as they’re more adapted to think and solve unseen quizzes. This is also very cost effective as no teachers are required to be present.

Convolutional deep learning and adversial learning are other common techniques. The convolutional technique convolutes the entire class to join the discussion, allowing rapid learning for difficult quizzes. Adversial learning lets a pair of students compete against each other. Given a set of quizzes, one student attempts to solve the quiz and the other checks the answer. Points are given when they manage to solve a quiz and correct an answer respectively.
I heard that students who were taught in private schools where they employ deep learning, perform up to 50% better in the workforce.

is our children learning

Portion of Remarks by President Bush at the Radio-Television Correspondents Association 57th Annual Dinner:

"Then there is my most famous statement: "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning." Let us analyze that sentence for a moment. If you're a stickler, you probably think the singular verb "is" should have been the plural "are." But if you read it closely, you'll see I'm using the intransitive plural subjunctive tense. So the word "is" are correct. (Laughter and applause.)

And you know what? Life goes on. My wife and my daughters still love me. Our military still protects our shores. Americans still get up and go to work. People still go out and have fun, as we're doing tonight.

I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously. But what I do take seriously is my responsibility as President to all the American people. It's the office I hold. And that is what I came tonight to tell you."
Is our children learning?
Yes, Mr. President, we is.
