Look up the Trivium and Quadrivium. One room schoolhouses kind of sort of implement the main function of the trivium method out of necessity.
Mark Passio has a lot of good info on these things.
A trivium based class has students learning things, processing it in their heads, and then teaching it to someone else.
A one room schoolhouse has different age groups so the teacher teaches so the older kids can understand, process, and teach to a younger learner, who processes and teaches to a younger learner, and so on, until the little kids get a good summary of what the older kids were talking about.
Schools now just cram shit into your head and make you regurgitate it out onto a test, and teach nobody.
There's quite a bit more to the Trivium than just that, but that's a key advantage.
Why do you think Bill Gates doesn't let his kids go to Common Core schools? Rich kids get properly educated, and none of us normal people are going to trivium based schools.
Masons will teach you the trivium, if you get high enough in their ranks. They teach it out of order though.
The proper order, both as school subjects and as steps in processing information is:
Are we seeing the rebirth of the one-room schoolhouse?
I hope so...
They are alive and well here in Amish country....

Trivium: Grammar - input Logic - processing Rhetoric - output
Quadrivium: Mathematics - numbers Geometry - numbers in space Music - numbers in time Astronomy - numbers in time and space
