Some lessons would be better than others, some children would get more attention and do better than others, they'd occasionally need time off and so on. Simply put, human teachers were inconsistent, and not always great.

I believe that when I try something new, I have to use it regularly for at least 2 weeks in order to make an honest decision about it. "
