There is nothing that can be done to force a stubborn and disinterested pereson to learn--truly learn--something. Sure, you can force them to do meet a certain standard of quality, and maybe they'll pick up a few things, but it's far more work for far less gain. There's no real requirement to learn, let alone remember for more than a few weeks, much of the information that students are presented with in public schools around here. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
