On this issue, Coach discusses how memorization has taken a hit in educational circles, as if memorizing and understanding are mutually exclusive and how teachers are told to avoid "drill and kill" and lessons that students can "Google" the answer. Coach pushes back on this idea addressing the need for memorization as building blocks for understanding, offering ideas from one of his favorite books, Why Students Don't Like School, by Daniel Willingham, and then pivoting to the Bible and how it stresses the importance of teaching its truths to our children.
