This is one of those analogies that really could have a lot of traction (I just wish it wasn't a basketball analogy, because I hate basketball). Accordinmg to the post, "n high school were responsible for teaching basketball this is how we would organize the learning experience for students.The typical student schedule would look something like this. 1st Hour – Dribbling. 2nd Hour – Shooting..." You get the idea. "In addition we'd have them learn basketball by sitting and listening while the teacher explained and demonstrated in the front of the room." Funny. But too real.
