    What they “TEACH IN SCHOOL” is a waste of time, and does not use high-level thought processes – it is a ‘visualization’ (which is valueless). I do not understand what the “School” process is supposed to teach. It may be the convoluted teaching method I have ever seen. I certainly hope this is not for “real”….
