Seriously! I used to love her show. Smart and informative.

now I can't tolerate the repetitiveness of each and every point. I have lectured on difficult topics and I know that trying to make a point with different examples works. It will reach some and bring them to an "aha!" moment. Some need to be told over and over to get the "aha!" moment. Yes others only have to hear it once maybe twice to reach the "aha!" moment. Yet many, not all, will know that they are close to the "aha!" moment. While it's possible to eventually bring everyone around to the "aha!" moment is good. Then there are those times when you know that the "aha!' moment will be out of reach never quite able to get them there but wait the clock say 3 mins left... keep talking... in the last 30 seconds you will break through and.. and.. and lose your audience!

Really Rachel. The last show before the July 4th break you had to cut your special guest off because you ran out of time. I wonder why. FRUSTRATING!

This is the way schools should be taught.....

..... project based. At least as an option for those students who don't excel in lecture and facts delivery systems.

Just imagine the topics students need to be exposed to to complete this successful project.

To name a few.
engineering
boat building
navigation
geography
math
electronics
team building skills
communication skills
science
solar and GPS technology

Fabulous project.
