  1. "When information in our working memory is sufficiently practised, it is then committed to long-term memory, after which it may be recalled later," the report said."
    So memorizing and repeating over and over again the multiplication tables was the best way to learn that math skill....but back then it was called arithmetic...how old school. :)

Let the hand-wringing begin.
