"For example, after reading a poem, you might ask your child, "How would you
write a poem to express the same emotions and themes in this one?" rather
than, "What's this poem about?" The second question requires only
comprehension, but the first one makes your son or daughter think about what
the poem contains, how well it expresses everything, and how he could make
it better.

That was why the helpless kids couldn’t take it when they
started failing. It just reminded them they sucked (they easily
got confused, they had “a bad rememory”). Of course it wasn’t
fun anymore — why would it be fun to get constantly reminded
you’re a failure? No wonder they tried to change the subject.

人大脑本身在小数目是可以实例化的，而大的数目要用抽象的方式对待。
美国数学教育界过于强调用“实例”教育，损伤了孩子的数学抽象能力。
