It's as if, during the time you are not thinking about the new stuff, it somehow settles into your brain, and then, when you pick up the book or listen to the tape, suddenly it's all so familiar. And, you suddenly see connections you did not see while studying.
As teachers, therefore, it behooves us to grant our students time to do this. Time to go away and not even think about what they've studied, but to play.
Maybe this is where the old saying: 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.', comes from?
