I’m constantly amazed at how differently I learned to do things from my father than from school.

My father had all sorts of approaches similar to this, and it’s how I learned to write essays (outside-in) and research (inside-out), and which I later applied to programming. It made school trivial and fun, and it’s what I’m teaching my kids.

Sounds interesting. Can you provide some more examples?
Delaney - I second this. Can you write a book on this? Blog posts. Podcasts? I’d read/listen to them all.
I think the book is "How to Solve It" by Polya, I mean it. The skills are transferable.
