Roger Schank, eLearn Magazine’s contributing editor and opinion columnist, was interviewed (in Spanish) in El Pais, the major paper of Spain. (Actually, he was interviewed in English and it was translated into Spanish). I read a Google translation. Among other things, Roger said:

Everything you learn is based on practice. To learn to drive a car does not have to study how the engine works or why they move the wheels. All education should be so, practice.

Of course, understanding how something works can be both fun and enlightening. If you know Spanish, enjoy the interview!
