You can lead a horse to water ... I get the sentiment though. Schooling is a great idea that is too often poorly executed. I've found that educational materials for math and science sometimes have a circlejerk kind of attitude, like the authors are laughing at the thought of students struggling with a problem "left as an exercise to the reader" immediately following a wall of dense, incomprehensible text.

Where can I find examples of otherwise dry subjects taught well? Is there an educational system that's praised in the same way they praise Scandinavian prisons? Or is the pain of learning just a necessary evil?

Lots of subjects are taught well in video games, intentionally or not
