Fluid/continuous education. For the first two weeks of my junior year of high school, I was learning the same version of the scientific method in 3 classes. I learned it again in two different classes my senior year of high school.

I would like to see education that is based on a knowledge map so that a person never needs to learn something that they already know.

my opinion on re-learning - there were multiple subjects that I took in college which went over same content that I had learned in High School. I actually enjoyed re-learning them because the content was presented in a different way, so it made more sense to me that it had before. It is one thing to learn something once, but when I learn some concept over and over again, I tend to discover something new about it or related to it. Even small concepts can have greater meaning to it that I did not saw at first.

I have similar experience with movies - Dark Knight - I watched it 4 times and each time I find it more fascinating because I saw new details in the movie.
