Elena told everybody that the small intestine was where most of the work got done in breaking food down and passing the good stuff into the bloodstream. “And who remembers just how long the small intestine is?” Feenix raised her hand. Robert gave a small groan. “Yes, Feenix?” “I don’t understand why we have to do this review thing every day. Isn’t it enough that you teach us the stuff once and then we go over it again when we do our homework? I mean what’s the point? It seems like it wastes a lot of time. And you know there a few really serious students in here who get so impatient.” She gave Robert a nasty grin. “Huh!” Mr. Ross exclaimed. “Does anybody else feel we are wasting our time when we review?” “No!” Robert groaned again. “She’s just trying to distract you. I think you should ignore her.” Mr. Ross considered what he’d said. Feenix watched him look back and forth between herself and Robert. To her satisfaction, she saw that he couldn’t help himself. He turned to the class. “Well, but Feenix’s question is interesting though, don’t you think? What is the point? Why do we spend our precious time on reviewing?” “Because it’s hard to remember stuff like this and it helps us remember,” Aneeka answered. Mr. Ross nodded. “Exactly. It’s obvious isn’t it? You feel it. We all know from our experiences that learning things, remembering things takes repetition and practice. But why? Why does memory work like that? Why don’t we just remember stuff?”
