Last night, however, I had no clue (and no, I\u2019m not going to say what it was about). I left Sean to help her out and handed him her math textbook with a sly smile on my face.<\/p>\n<p>When I came back, not only did she know how to solve the problems, she couldn\u2019t get enough of it! How did she learn it? By watching a video on YouTube. Man, say what you want about the Internet (and most things I would agree with), but if you are a visual learner like I am, it is great.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure I would have eventually turned to it last night, but not after spending half an hour trying to decipher this math textbook first.
