> the usefulness this site provided throughout my middle and high school education

I'm a deal past these periods in my life, and I did quite well via just arbitrary memorization, at the cost of never really developing an intuitive understanding, and therefore a true appreciation, for subjects like math. I've only recently started going through KA's courses, starting all the way back in Algebra.

as someone who only does intuitive learning and who is garbage at memorization, the idea that people like this exist is so foreign to me

It was not done gladly or well, my memorization was of a term only long enough to get me through the tests for that unit. I did not hit perfect scores most of the time but I was a solid A- student (unless the class cared about homework, then I would drop to B/C, but thats besides the point). As a result of this at-the-time convenient ability I gleaned nothing from my schooling career besides how to hack tests, which is a dreadful and personally useless ability to have.
