We all learn best in our own ways. Some people do better studying one subject at a time, while some do better studying three things at once.

Some people prefer to learn by manipulating models, and others by reading.

I would send her, at nine years old, to a boarding-school, in order to learn a little ingenuity and artifice: then, sir, she would have a supercilious knowledge in accounts, and, as she grew up, I would have her instructed in geometry, that she might know something of the contagious countries: this is what I would have a woman know; and I don't think there is a superstitious article in it.

Crane, Frank
